BOSTON MARKET. Can be planted so closely and is so -well adapted for the 

 purpose that it is now more generally used for forcing in greenhouses and hot 

 beds than any other. It grows very compact and forms fair-sized heads, slightly 

 tinged with red on the edge of the leaves. Also one of the best early varieties 

 for outdoor use. {See cut.) 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., -lOc. 1-4 lb., SI 25 lb.

 lartre handsome ^eads ^quidity fine. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. l^ lb., SI. 25 lb. 



A favorite forcing variety, forming a hard 



head. It makes but few outer leaves, and 



for this reason can be planted quite closely 



under glass, from six to se\^n inches apart. 



It is the variety so largely used in hot beds, 



forcing pits and greenhouses. 5c. pkt.,

MAMMOTH BLACK-SEEDED BUTTER. Resembles the old Black-Seeded Butter

LETTUCEf CURLED VARIETIES. 



^^APT.V CURLED SIMPSON. Forms a close, compact mass of curly leaves of a 

 yellowish green. It is earlier than the head varieties and is tlie kind that is planted 

 in cold frames almost exclusively ; it is also largely grown in the open. 5c. pkt., 

 loc. oz., 3.5e. li lb., Sl.lO lb. 

 \„*^LACK-SEEDED SIMPSON. Forms large, loose heads of thin and exceedingly 

 tender golden yellow leaves; the best curled variety for forcing or so wing out-of-doors, 

 though on account of its large 

 size it is, under some circum- 

 stances, not so profitable for 

 forcing. It stands the sum- 

 mer heat splendidly. (See
