119. Bolgiano's Farmer's Pride Lettuce. — Nature herself has allied with men to accomplish this most perfect production of vegetable life — the Farmer's 

 Pride Lettuce — MASSIVE, yet graceful as a rose and solid as a rock. Nature's most beautiful shade of green makes it attract and delight the eye. It con- 

 tains a heart of gold — not a small one. but a large, generous heart, enough for all. The outer leaves, serving on the table as a background to this inviting 



dish, serve in the fields in the coldest Winters as the heavy protector to the 

 ^^^ /fij sEfejfev _^ tender, delicious heart within, and during the hottest and driest of the 



^C ~ m „ Summer days these same leaves act the protector against the rays of a July 



sun, by gathering and holding moisture to cool and nourish the plant. The 



Farmer's Pride Lettuce is an absolute necessity to any wide-awake up-to- 



^*ll|rf< date grower of Vegetables. Sow the seed any time in the year you wish;

120. Tait's Imperial Cabbage Lettuce. — This Lettuce has been thoroughly 

 tested in different seasons, and it can fairly claim to have successfully passed 

 the experimental stage, being universally acknowledged one of the hardiest 

 Lettuce in existence. Some of the most successful growers in the vicinity 

 of Norfolk prefer it to any other sort. It is practically as hardy as any Win- 

 ter cabbage, and will fill barrels almost as rapidly, the heads being a foot 

 across. The leaves are thick, 

 crisp and stiff, and thus carry 

 well in shipment. The color 

 is a bright green and holds 

 well after cutting. As an open- 

 air Lettuce, it is unexcelled 

 for endurance of extreme cold 

 and yield per acre. PKts. 5c 

 and 10c, Oz. 15c, 2 Ozs. 25c, 

 1/4 Lb. 30c, 1/2 Lb. 75c. 

 Lb. $1.50. 



121. Bolgiano's OaK Leaf 

 Lettuce. — Is most remarkable 

 for resisting the Summer heat. 

 It makes a first-class head, and 

 retains its marketable condi- 

 tion long after other sorts be- 

 come worthless. For the Sum- 

 mer season at the North and 

 for the warmer climate at the 

 South, it is especially desira- 

 ble. PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c. 

 2 Ozs. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 50c, 

 1/2 Lb. 80c, Lb. $1.50. 

 123. Paris White Cos,— Self- 

 Folding'.— Grows to very large 



IMPROVED WHITE LOAF LETTUCE. 



122. After the most careful cultivation and rogueing, we have established 

 the truest and most uniform strain of Improved White Loaf Lettuce ever 

 placed into the hands of the most critical and careful Lettuce growers. This 

 is even better than the strain first introduced to the truckers. It is planted 

 largely in the Fall, and allowed to remain in the open ground all Winter. In 

 the earliest Spring, it quickly forms most delicious, large, light-colored 

 Lettuce Heads. As a frame Lettuce, it has no equal, often 18 heads have 

 brought $2.50 wholesale. If planted in early Spring, it quickly forms heads 

 and can be brought to market long before anv other Lettuce begins to head, 

 PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. 2 Ozs. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 35c, 1/2 Lb. 60c, Lb. $1.00.
