The Midseason 

 Butterheads 



For a continuous supply of high quality salads 

 any of the following sorts should be sown at the same 

 time as the earliest sorts and again 2 weeks later. 



446 Big Boston. More extensively grown than 

 any other variety in this class. It is early and 

 hardy. Color is medium light green, with a 

 slight tinge of brown on margins of outer leaves.

 outdoor planting. Of good quality, being crisp, 

 tender, and of fine flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 25 cts.; i lb., 75 cts.

 tinged with brown and spotted. The interior 

 of head is rich golden-yellow and quality very 

 fine. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; | lb., 75 cts. 



454 Improved Deacon. A good summer cab- 

 bage sort; very crisp, large and while of rather 

 "forbidding" green color and thick texture out- 

 side, holds a "Heart of gold" of choicest qual- 

 ity. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; i lb., 75 cts.

 amander described below, but much larger,

cts.; Joz., 20cts.; oz., 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00. 

 462 Dreer's Improved Hanson. This superior Lettuce, which 

 we originally introduced, is one of the best for growing during 

 the summer months. The heads grow to a good size, are sweet, 

 tender and crisp. The color is light green, and leaves, which 

 are crumpled, tightly overlap each other. Pkt., 10 cts.; j oz., 

 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00. 

 464 Iceberg. The outer leaves are light green in color, and their 

 habit of branching towards the centre of head 

 is a great aid to the blanching of heart. It is 

 very firm, crisp and of good flavor, forming 

 large, solid heads early in August. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 I oz., 20 cts.; o*z., 35 cts.; \ lb., $1.00.

 slightly curled ; edges tinted brown. Though of 

 unattractive appearance, this is one of the

 quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00. 



Romaine or Cos Lettuce 



466 Kingsholm Cos. Forms long, upright plants 

 with narrow leaves, which are crisp and re- 

 freshing, withstanding the summer heat. The

 reliable variety for late use. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 30 cts.; I lb., 85 cts.
