 of the list, being of quick growth, hardy, little liable to 

 rot and remaining in condition several days after being fit 

 to cut. The plant is upright and forms a loose cluster of 

 large, thin, bright green leaves, savoyed, finely crimped at 

 edges. The leaves do not wilt quickly after cutting, so 

 that the variety will stand shipping long distances better 

 than most sorts. Very attractive and desirable for garnish-

 doors it is one of the earliest to form a head under favor-

Originated by a local mar- 

 ket gardener, who for sev- 

 eral years past has supplied the earliest and finest Butter- 

 head Lettuce to the Baltimore market. Jn comparison with 

 May King, it is earlier and free from the red tint; the outer 

 leaves are a light green, with the entire head fully blanched 

 to a rich buttery yellow tint, which makes it so attractive 

 for late fall or in cold frames and early spring use. Oz. 

 15c; ft lb. 50c; lb. $1.50.

 ingly early heading variety, compact, tender, solid head 

 and of fine quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; ft lb. 25c; lb. 85c. 



Big Boston. Tnis is a fine forcing variety for cold 

 frames during the winter months, as it 

 produces heads of very large size, often 12 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 become popular in the South to grow for 

 shipping North. Our seed is an extra selected strain of 

 the true stock. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; ft lb. 35c; lb. $1.25.

loose, green oak-leaved-shaped plants, of inferior quality 

 and taste, we are offering in this new strain a well-com- 

 pact, large-headed, round-leaved variety of a beautiful 

 light green color, which remains in fine condition long after 

 other varieties have gone to seed. It is very hardy and 

 largely used by market gardeners for late planting to 

 stand out over winter and develop large, solid heads very 

 early in the spring. Oz. 15c; ft lb. 30c; lb. 90c.
