20 cents; 4 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. 
BIG BOSTON.—This is a variety of the Boston Market, which has been perfected by 
a celebrated gardener in the neighborhood of Boston, to such an extent that it is fully 
double the size of the old variety. It is, however, a little later in maturing; but its unu- 
.Sual size and wonderful solidity are strong recommendations. All truckers and market 
# gardeners desiring large, salable heads, that are crisp and tender, will find this a nvost 
profitable sort. Packet, 10’cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 4 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 
DENVER MARKET.—An early variety of head lettuce, that has proved itself of 
merit. It forms large, solid heads, of a good light green color, and is very slow to run 
toseed. The leaves are beautifully curled and crimped (like the Savoy cabbages) and are 
very tender, crisp and of excellent flavor. The crimp leaves distinguish it from any other 
kind of lettuce. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 44 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 
: MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH.—Frequently grows as large as a good Drumhead Cab- 
= bage. A second early, leaves being of a lightish green color. In quality it is tender, crisp 
= and free from bitterness. It is a splendid Lettuce, a very hard header, and slow torun to 
= seed. If you want the largest Lettuce you have ever sown, you should sow Marblehead. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 44 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50. 
ICEBERG.—This variety is especially recommended on account of its superior fla- 
vor and its handsome large heads. The large, curly leaves which cover the outside of the 
solid heads are of a bright, light green, with a very slight reddish tinge at the edges. Its 
habit of storing moisture in the indents of the leaves keeps it fresh and remarkably crystal- 
line in appearance. The unusual solidity of the heads is insured by the main ribs of the 
Jeaves, which, curving strongly into the cen- 
tre, acts like a truss, making it impossible 
for the leaves to expose the centre, which is 
constantly thoroughly blanched. Packet, 
10 cts.; 0z., 20 cts.; 44 1b., 60 cts.; 1b., $2.00.

lar variety in the Philadelphia markets.
