 grower, as well as the consumer. In ap- 



New Black-Seeded Biff Boston Lettuce

 handsome, solid heads of enormous size, 

 almost as large as cabbage heads, which 

 remain in good salable condition long after 

 all others have gone to seed. The flavor

 green. Verv profitable for market garden-

 TTnrivnW! This lettuce might well be 

 uuuvaicu. called an Improved Big Bos- 

 ton. It is rapidly coming into favor with 

 market gardeners in sections where the Big 

 Boston does well. Its usefulness and value 

 are identically the same as Big Boston, 

 but It is preferred by market gardeners be- 

 cause of its being a solid green color with 

 no brownish tinge at the border of the 

 leaves; its heads are larger and of better 

 appearance than Big Bn^ton. Pkt. 5c; oz 

 20c; & lb. 50c; lb. $1.75.
