 BOLGIANO'S 



CELEBRATED 



Big Head Lettuce. 



Its beautiful form and color attract the 

 attention of expert growers. It forms a 

 compact head, has no core, but a tender, 

 golden heart. As a shipper it is unexcelled, 

 commands the very best prices, demand 

 alwa^'S exceeds the supply. It resists the 

 cold, withstands the summer heat, always 

 crisp, has a mild flavor; when open it be- 

 comes a table ornament; in fact, in this sort 

 the trucker has found for the first time a 

 Perfect Lettuce.

BOLGIANO'S CELEBRATED BIG HEAD LETTUCE. 



BIG BOSTON LETTUCE. 



EXTRA SUPERIOR STOCK. 



THIS variety is identical in color, 

 shape and general appearance with the 

 famous-Boston Market Lettuce, but is 

 double the size. It is about one week 

 later in maturing, but its solidity and 

 greater size head makes it a very valua- 

 ble sort. Suitable either for forcing in 

 cold frames or open-ground plating. The 

 Big Boston is wanted by market garden- 

 ers and truckets, because it always pro- 

 duces large, solid, salable heads, and 

 because it heads up well at all seasons of 

 the year, and is of crisp, tender quality. 

 It is a splendid forcing variety, and can 

 stand the coldest weather in the open 

 ground.

CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER LET- 

 TUCE — 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, inside is 

 folded a solid head of rich, creamy yellow color. 

 The largest growers consider one of the best in 

 ctltivation. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 15c. 2

DEFIANCE.— This we consider one of the very best Lettuces. It is 

 of fine qualt_v, crisp and tender, and remains in prime condition a long 

 time before going to seed. As a Summer varietv it has already' become 

 a standard sort. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 15c. 2 Ozs., 25c. 1/4

CULTURE OF LETTUCE. 



Sow the seed in hot-beds in February or March, and transplant into 

 a sheltering border with a Southern exposure. For successive crops 

 sowing may be made in the open ground as early as the Spring opens, 

 and continuing until July. Always thin out well, or plants will not be 

 strong. When wanted as a cut salad, sow the seed thickly in rows or 

 broadcast. 



North Carolina, September 18, 1902. 

 Last year I planted your New Early Spring Lettuce. They 

 made large fine heads, averaging 1% lbs. per head. It was 

 similar in color to California Cream Butter Lettuce with spots 

 on leaves but a much firmer head and a finer texture; feeling and 

 packing much like Big Boston; has a strong stalk and stands 

 the wet and cold well.
