Buckbee's Earliest Forcing. 



For those who like a large thin, exceedingly tender leaf, and for those raark-jt> v. h.i. h 

 demand a large, loose cluster of leaves rather than a solid head, this is one of the best vari- 

 ties for forcing out of doors. Plants large, forming a large, loose head: light yellowi.-h 

 green in color. I control the entire stock of this varietv. Pkt. 6c.; oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. 16c.; 

 lb. 30c.; Yo lb. 65c.; lb. Sl.OO. 



Gold Coin, 



A new Cabbage Lettuce. Entire plant measures onlj' 7 inches across, while the 

 heads are solid and compact. Outer leaves colored with russet red and bronze green, the 

 soUd hearts light creamy color. Very hardy and fit for use five days after Boston Market ; 

 excellent even for mid-summer. Pkt. 5c.; oz. lOc; 2 oz. 16c.; \i lb. 30c.; y-> lb. 56c.; 

 lb. $1.00. 



Buckbee's Superb. 



Finest of all early varieties and unusually good sized and solid; has little tendency to 

 run to seed. Wonderfully crisp, exceptionally tender, and above all delicious in flavor. 

 As a forcing variety it has no superior. Excels as a familv or market sort. Pkt. 5c.; 

 oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. ISc; M lb. 30c.; lb. 66c.; lb. $1.00. 



Buckbee's Ice Drumhead. 



It grows rapidly, heads extremely early; heads nearly as solid as cabbage. Outer 

 leaves are first tinged with brownish red, changing toward the center from a golden yellow 

 to a creamy white. As palatable as beautiful; very tender; never bitter and of a sweet 

 buttery flavor. Ready for use from the time it is 3 inches across until it runs to seed. 

 I control the entire stock of this variety. Pkt. 6c.; oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. 16c.; 3i lb. 30c.; } ■; lb. 

 56c.; lb. Sl.OO. 



New Iceberg. 



Quick growing and of exquisite flavor. The large, curly leaves which cover the out- 

 side of the solid heads are of bright, light green, with a slight reddish tinge on the edges. 

 They have small indents which are constantly filled with dew-drops, keeping it fresh and 

 showing a remarkable crystalline appearance. I can confidently recommend the New 

 Iceberg. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 8c.; 2 oz. 16c.; M lb. 25c.; 3^ lb. 40c.; lb. 75c. 



Wonderful.

 crisp, well-blanched Lettuce during the hot summer months. Plants are rich dark green,

 summer, before running to seed. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. 16c.; M lb. 30c.; J-i lb. 55c.;

Improved Black Seeded Simpson. 



Acknowledged the best early forcing variety, new and superior in every way. The 

 leaves are a delicate green, almost white. Quality exceptionally fine. Always crisp, 

 and tender at all stages of growth. Can not be beaten for an all round variety, 

 is the best selected. Try it
