¥ Big Boston.—Thisis a fine forcing variety for cold 
ames during the winter months, as it produces heads of 
very large size, ofte1 twelve inches or more across, and 
succeeds better in cooler temperature than most forcing 
strains. The large heads are beautifully blanched and of 
superior quality. It also heads well in the open ground 
during cool weather of spring and fall, and has lately be-

"New Triumph.—This new Let- 
tuce, introduced by us in 1900, and from 
which we have received the most enthu- 
siastic reports, first appeared in the form 
of a single sprout plant in a bed of De- 
fiance, resembling this variety in size 
and shape. The large showy heads are 
of a beautiful light yellow and are of a 
rich buttery flavor. It has not only 
proven to be the best summer variety, 
but we find this one of the most desirable 
to growin a cool greenhouse or cold 
frame for use during winter and early 
spring, it being very sure heading and of 
superior flavor. Pkg., 5c.; oz., 15c.;'4%
