Green-Leaved Big Boston Lettuce 



SUPER-STANDARD 



[PROVEN STOCK.] Days to maturity, 75. This strain is the result of very careful personal selection, and must 

 in no way be confused with the ordinary strains of Unrivaled, etc. Green-leaved Big Boston Lettuce was intro- 

 duced as such by us in 1916, and it proved at once to be profitable and popular. It is very similar to Big Boston in 

 all but one of its general characteristics, and therein lies its great advantage — it does not have the usual red tinge 

 on the edge of the leaves. The time required for its maturity is slightly less than that for Big Boston. Its heads 

 are large, uniform, and of brilliant green color. They will hold two weeks before shooting to seed. In offering this 

 strain of Lettuce, we do so, sincerely believing it is as near perfect as any Lettuce we have ever had under our 

 observation. Color of seed, white. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10c. ; oz.20c.; Vilb.SOc; lb. $1.75; 5 lbs. or more, $1.50 per lb. 



Grand Rapids 



SUPER 

 STANDARD 



[PROVEN STOCK.] Days to maturity, 69. We con- 

 sider this to be one of the most valuable strains of 

 Grand Rapids Lettuce, either for indoor forcing or field 

 cultivation. We realize that this is an important green- 

 house crop and are taking no chances. All of the seed 

 we offer was grown in 1924 and has been given thorough 

 trials. Forms a loosely rounded cluster of leaves, 

 blistered and slightly twisted, very thick and heavy 

 with coarse veins, very light green, never spotted or 

 brownish. Table quality not so good as Simpson or 

 Salamander. Seeds black, slow to germinate. Price, 

 delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Vilb. 40 cts.; 

 lb. $1.50; 5 lbs. or more, $1.40 per lb. 



Black-Seeded Simpson. °Tity,Ta 



This is one of the most desirable loose-leaved varieties 

 of Lettuce. The leaves are very much blistered, 

 crumpled, and twisted, with large midribs. The color 

 is very light green, never spotted or brownish. The 

 table quality is excellent. Color of seed black. Price, 

 delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Vilb. 40 cts.; lb. 

 $1.50; 5 lbs. or more, $1.40 per lb. 



New York or Wonderful. S^fuVy! 



85. This variety has achieved great popularity during 

 the past five seasons. It is now the standard shipping 

 lettuce in the country from important points such as 

 the Imperial Valley and Rocky Mountain points. It 

 is also an important variety for late maturity in the 

 east as it resists heat and develops large white heads 

 almost resembling cabbage in their solidity. Consider- 

 ing their size and texture the quality is very fair. Price, 

 delivered : Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 20 cts. ; i/4lb. 75 cts. ; lb. $2.50; 

 5 lbs. or more, $2.35 per lb. 



Big Boston stI"n^.Trd 



[PROVEN STOCK.] Days to maturity, 78. In our 

 Super-Standard strain we offer a stock of seed against 

 which we challenge comparison to any stocks that are 

 available. Big Boston is a white-seeded, cabbage- 

 heading Lettuce of the butter type, medium large, 

 globular, medium light green, with slight tinge of 

 brown on margin of outer leaves. It is early and hardy 

 and stands long-distance shipping. The head itself is 

 brittle, buttery, and the interior almost golden yellow. 

 The mature plant will form a compact, well-defined 

 hard head. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 

 V4lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75; 5 lbs. or more, $1.50 per lb.

 best strain of the most satisfactory Cos variety. Its 

 uniformity of type may be unquestioned by the most 

 particular growers. The Trianon forms a compact, 

 blanched, firm head, round at the top. Color very dark 

 green on the outside but well blanched on the inside.
