Bolgiano's White Loaf Lettuce 



Black Seed Summer Lettuce 



BOLGIANO'S OAK LEAF LETTUCE is most remarkable 

 for resisting the summer's heat, and retains its remarkable con- 

 ditions long after other sorts become worthless. Packets, 5 

 and 10c; 2 ounces, 25c; y A lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



MAMMOTH BLACK SEED BUTTER LETTUCE. In a 

 trial of several hundred Lettuce we were impressed with this 

 kind for summer use. It makes a large, light green head; the 

 'eaves are slightly crimped like our White Loaf. It withstood 

 the summer heat and made a finer appearance than any other 

 maturing at the same time. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 15c; 

 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 



BOLGIANO'S BLACK SEED SUMMER LETTUCE. A 

 perfect heading outdoor Lettuce, especially during our dry, 

 hot summer, because it is long standing and always tender and 

 pleasant to the taste. It spontaneously heads from the start, 

 the heads growing larger as the plant matures. It does equally 

 well for forcing under glass in hot beds, cold frames, green- 

 houses and for outside cultivation. Packets, 5 and 10c; ounce, 

 15c; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
