Big Boston 



QUALITY OF PRODUCT IS OUR FIRST AND ONLY CONSIDERATION 



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.40c; y 4 lb.$1.25; lb. $4.50; 5 lbs. or more, $4 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 1923 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,
