 blanch them.

Stokes' Biff Boston. This grand Lettuce is steadily 



gainmg ni popularity, until now it 



is more extensu'ely grown than any other variety, either for private 

 table or by the'inarket gardener. Whether grown in the open ground 

 for summer and fall use or in frames for spring and earlj- summer, or 

 forced in greenhouses for winter use, it invariably gives the greatest 

 s ttisfaction, producing large, fine, buttery yellow heads, thoroughly 

 lilanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet and white. It has compara- 

 tively few outside leaves and stands as long as any before shooting
