GOLDEN QUEEN. A very desirable early variety, of amost pleasing golden-yellow 
color, and second to none for forcing. Itis one of the most deceptive varieties we 
have ever seen, as at first glance it seems to be of medium size, but it forms 
all solid heads, with little or no waste, so that there is really more to it than 
in many Lettuces double the size. It is very crisp, tender and juicy. 
We cannot recommend it too highly. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz.,

BIG BOSTON. This variety is identical in color, shape and 
general appearance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, 
but is double the size. Itis about one week later in matur- 
it a most valuable sort. A most desirable variety 
either for forcing in cold frames or open-ground 
planting. The ‘Big Boston” is sure to be 
wanted by market gardeners and truckers, 
because it always produces large, solid, 
salable heads, and it will commend 
itself to amateurs, because it heads 
up well at all seasons of the 
year, and is of crisp, tender 
quality. (See cut.) 10c.
