LONGSTANDING WHITE BOSTON (New) 



Very longstanding. Resistant to wilt and tip burn. 



Days to maturity. 75. This new and distinct lettuce is 

 destined for an important future. Fundamentally it is a 

 very pure strain of the White Boston type, but its great 

 mark of distinction is in its long-standing habit of growth 

 and its freedom from tip burn. Any lettuce which will 

 stand up under the dry, burning heat of mid-July as this 

 one does is a stock of outstanding merit. For table 

 quality and tender sweetness we know of no other 

 strain that will compare with Longstanding White Bos- 

 ton. The color is a bright yellow-green. Our prediction 

 is that this lettuce will largely replace the older White 

 Boston, for it has all of the good qualities of that variety 

 and at the same time holds from two to three weeks 

 longer before shooting to seed and is more resistant to 

 wilt and tip burn. Give it a thorough trial this year.

NEW YORK No. 12 



Matures earlier. Better adapted to eastern climate. 



Days to maturity. 90. Pacific coast growers have had a 

 near monopoly in the production of Iceberg type lettuce. 

 The prevailing cool temperatures there are in their 

 favor. New York No. 12 matures earlier than the original 

 strain and is better adapted to our eastern climate. 

 Among other advantages it is much less susceptible to 

 loss by Tip Burn. For these reasons growers can plant 

 New York No. 12 in almost any locality either early in 

 the spring or in the late summer or fall. When grown 

 on well-prepared and well-fertilized ground it will de- 

 velop solid, crisp, large size heads. The color is a trifle 

 lighter than other strains of New York. 

 Price: Pkt. 5c, Oz. 20c, lb. 45c. Lb. $1.50. 5 lbs. or 

 over ^ $1.40 per lb. Postpaid.
