GOLDEN QUEEN LETTUCE 



New Golden Queen Lettuce 



NEW GOLDEN QUEEN LETTUCE. A very remarkable 

 new Lettuce, which withstands hot summer heat without be- 

 coming bitter or running to seed, and produces cabbage-like 

 heads of large size and superior quality. Outside it is a pale 

 green, and inside holds a large, crisp heart of cream yellow 

 color and delicious buttery flavor. The most careful growers 

 give particular praise. It will please you. Packets, 5 and 

 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 35c; lb., $1.00. 



BOLGIANO'S WHITE FORCING LETTUCE. This stock 

 was secured from one of the leading market gardeners of 

 Washington. It has given entire satisfaction wherever used; 

 making a solid, compact head; comes early, has a fine light 

 color, and is tender and crisp. We recommend this to all 

 growers of hotbed and greenhouse Lettuce. Ounce, 20c; X lb., 

 50c; lb., $1.50. 



BOSTON MARKET, or TENNIS BALL LETTUCE. This 

 variety is used specially for greenhouse and hotbed culture, 

 because it can be planted very close. It grows very compact; 

 fair size. Packets, 5 and 10c: ounce, 15c; X lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 



CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER LETTUCE. Is a Lettuce 

 of much merit. It meets the expectations of expert gardeners 

 and shippers who have no use for any except the best. Out- 

 side leaves are a medium green color, and inside is folded a 

 solid head of rich, creamy yellow color. It is one of the best 

 in cultivation. Ounce, 15c; X lb., 25c; X lb., 50c; lb., 90c. 



ROYAL CABBAGE LETTUCE. Is a famous sort of the 

 very best qualities for fall and winter use. It stands the 

 severest winter equal to cabbage, and heads under glass to the 

 satisfaction of the largest growers. It has won favor in the 

 Southern States, where it has long been regarded as a reliable 

 sort. It forms a good-sized head, with a buttery white com- 

 pact heart. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 35c; X 

 lb., 60c; lb., $1.00. 



DEACON LETTUCE. Large, solid, long standing summer 

 Lettuce. Heads light green in color and very pleasing to the 

 eye. Stands a long while without going to seed. Packets, 5 

 and 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 



DUTCH SPECKLED BUTTER. Produces heads of excel- 

 lent quality, and one of the best market sorts; also stands the 

 heat well in summer. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; % lb., 

 30c; lb., 75c. 



TRIANON WHITE COS LETTUCE. This favorite of the 

 Paris table excels all other Lettuce in crispness, tenderness and 

 flavor and is unapproached by any other. The heads are tall 

 and conical. When blanched the leaves become stiff like stalks 

 of celery, and snowy white, and may be eaten like celery, 

 hence it is known as the celery Lettuce. Packets, 5 and 10c; 

 ounce, 15c; X lb., 30c; lb., 85c. 



BOLGIANO & CO.'S PRIVATE STOCK LETTUCE. An 



improved type of the popular Big Boston, having the same 

 characteristics of that variety except the leaves are free from 

 the brown tinge. The heads are solid and very crisp when 

 other sorts become tough and flaky. An allseason Lettuce. 

 Our seed has been selected most carefully, yet it is not abso- 

 lutely fixed in type. Gardeners who grew it in the past 

 demand it again. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 40c; 

 lb., $1.25. 



BOLGIANO'S NEW EARLY SPRING LETTUCE. In the 



early spring months this elegant Lettuce does its best, produc- 

 ing large, cabbage-like heads, which are uniform in size, 

 tender, crisp, and sell for the highest prices in the market. 

 Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; 2 ounces, 25c; X lb., 40c; 

 X lb., 75c; lb., $1.25. 



BIG BOSTON LETTUCE. It is for forcing in cold frames 

 or open ground planting. The Big Boston is wanted by 

 market gardeners and truckers because it always produces 

 large, salable heads, and because it heads up well at all seasons 

 of the year, and is of crisp, tender quality. Packets, 5 and 10c; 

 ounce, 15c; X lb., 40c; X lb., 60c; lb., $1.00. 



BOLGIAN9'S CELEBRATED BIG HEAD LETTUCE. 



It forms a compact head, has no core, but a tender golden 

 heart. It resists the cold, withstands the summer heat, is 

 always crisp and has a mild flavor. When open it becomes a 

 table ornament. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 30c; 

 X lb., 50c; lb., $1.00. 



DEFIANCE. This we consider one of the very best Lettuces. 

 It is of fine quality, crisp and tender, and remains in prime 

 condition a long time before going to seed. As a summer 

 variety it has already become a standard sort. Packets, 5 and 

 10c; ounce, 15c; X lb., 35c; lb., $1.00. 



BOLGIANO'S MILLIONAIRE LETTUCE. Large, solid 

 heads, coming into head sooner than other varieties planted at 

 same time. It will withstand the late frost, and the heads will 

 always be crisp and tender; delicious flavor. Heads a beauti- 

 ful light golden yellow. It might be called Bouquet Lettuce, 

 because it is so beautiful. Price: 1 ounce, 20c; X lb., 65c; 

 lb., $2.50. 





Farmer's Pride Lettuce 



We recommend this Lettuce, feeling that when we do we 

 have placed in the hands of our trade one that will give the 

 utmost satisfaction. It forms a large, solid head, slow to seed 

 and early in forming. Its large golden heart with outside 

 leaves of bright green make it pleasing to the eye, and when 

 used at the table is unsurpassed. The leaves are crumpled and 

 have none of the coarseness of other sorts. Packets, 5 and 10c; 

 ounce, 15c; X lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.
