nATUREherself has allied f*«— ^ 



with man to accpm- JEK& mB*. 



plish this most perfect pro- 

 duction of vegetable life — 

 The Farmers' Pride Let- 

 tuce— MASSIVE, yet grace- 

 ful as a rose and solid as a 

 rock. Nature's most beau- 

 tiful shade of green makes 

 it attract and delight the 

 eye; then what pleasure 

 there is when the Farmers' 

 Pride Lettuce is placed on 

 the best appointed tables. 

 It contains a heart of gold — 

 not a small one but a large, 

 generous heart, enough for 

 all. The outer leaves, 

 serving on the table as a 

 background to this invit- 

 ing dish, serve in the field 

 in the coldest Winters as 

 the heavy protector to the 

 tender, delicious heart 

 within, and during the 

 hottest and driest of the 

 Summer days these same 

 leaves act as a protector 

 against the rays of a July 

 sun, by gathering and hold- 

 ing moisture to cool and 

 nourish the plant. Out of 

 a very careful and highly 

 successful test of more 

 than a hundred and fifty 

 Lettuces, the Farmers' 

 Pride Lettuce is, in our 

 opinion, and in the judg- 

 ment of many able, exper- 

 ienced and successful gar- 

 deners, an absolute neces- 

 sity to any wide-awake, 

 up-to-date grower of vege- 

 tables. Sow the seed any time in the year you wish; your crop will be the finest you ever grew. PKts. 5c and 10c, Or. 25c, 2 Ozs. 40c, 1/4 Lb. 60c, 

 1/2 Lb. 80c, Lb. $1.50. 



AltDPROVED WHITE LOAF LECCUCE. 



IIFTER the most careful cultivation and rogueing we have established the truest and most uniform strain of Improved "White Loaf Lettuce ever 

 Jt placed into the hands of the most critical and careful Lettuce growers. This stock is even better than the strain first introduced to 

 the truckers. It is planted largely in the Fall, and allowed to remain in the open ground all Winter. In the earliest Spring it quickly forms 

 most delicious, large, light-colored lettuce heads. As a frame lettuce it has no equal, often 18 heads have brought $2.50 wholesale. If planted in 

 early Spring it quickly forms heads and can be brought to market long before any other lettuce begins to head. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15c, 

 2 Ozs. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 35c, 1/2 Lb. 60c, Lb. $1.00. 



f Bolgiano's New £arly Spring Lettuce.— In the early 

 Spring months this splendid Lettuce does its best, pro- 

 ducing large, Cabbage-like heads, which are uniform in 

 size, tender, crisp, and sell for the highest prices in the 

 market. It has won approval from our best Lettuce 

 growers. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15c, 2 Ozs. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 40c, 

 1/2 Lb. 75c, Lb. $1.50. 



Bolgiano's OaK Leaf Lettuce.— Is most remarkable 

 for resisting the Summer heat. It makes a first-class 

 head, and retains its marketable condition long after 

 other sorts become worthless. For the Summer season at 

 the North and for the warmer climate at the South it is 

 especially desirable. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 20c, 

 2 Ozs. 35c. 1/4 Lb. 50c, 1/2 Lb. 80c, Lb. $1.50. 

 • ■'••**• Immensity Lettuce.— The largest Head Lettuce in the 

 world. Often 4 to 5 feet in circumference, and as good as 

 it is large. A luxuriant grower, consequently tender, 

 sweet and crisp. A gigantic Lettuce, with an enormous, 

 solid head. The plant and head not only attain phenom- 

 enal dimensions, but it is also of the finest quality, even 

 the outer leaves being tender. The plant is fully 18 inches 

 in diameter. While the head proper is proportionately 

 large. It is one of the slowest to run to seed that we 

 have ever seen, and maintains that crispness of texture 

 and sweetness of flavor that will surely make it popular. 

 It has good heat-resisting qualities which carry it safely 

 through the most trying seasons. Price, 10c, PKts. 5c ana 

 10c, Oz. 15c, 2 Ozs. 25c, 1/4 Lb. 30c, 1/2 Lb. 60c, Lb. $1.00. 

 ™ Golden Queen.— One of the best first early head Let- 

 tuces for either open-ground or frame culture and a good 

 forcer; medium-sized, solid, golden-yellow heads, crisp 

 and tender. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15c, 2 Ozs. 25c, 

 1/4 Lb. 50c, Lb. $1.50. 



Your Farmers' Pride Lettuce suits Norfolk Let-, 

 tuce Growers better than anv other kind.it will|| 

 1 not damp off, will not burn under glass, and! 

 makes fine extra large heads, the heavier outer I 

 leaves protect the heads and retain the moisture. 3 

 As a shipper it surpasses any other Lettuce.

 Exposition from Yirginia. 



IMPROVED WHITE LOAF LETTUCE. 



Bolgiano's New Golden Heart Lettuce.— Perfect in every detail. Early, large, hand- 

 some, most attractive, light color, tender, crisp, solid, compact, with a sweet, nutty, golden- 

 yellow heart. Its flavor equals the heart of a well-seasoned Celery. It matures at any 

 season, and will grow on rich or poor land. We cannot say too much about this leader 

 among Lettuce, but you will say even more. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15, 1/4 Lb. 50c, 

 1/2 Lb, 80c, Lb. $1.50.
