156. Big Boston Lettuce is the most valuable Lettuce in cultivation, its excellent qualities have made it the most 

 popular and the most extensively used Lettuce in the world. It can be grown in the open ground for Summer 

 or Fall, in frames for Spring or forced cool in Greenhouses for Winter use, producing under each condition, 

 grand, large, buttery, yellow heads, filled with sweet, crisp, tender, beautifully blanched leaves. Stands long 

 without going to seed, has few outer leaves and makes a large attractive plant. Big Boston Lettuce is 

 specially adapted to cool open-8'round culture, many thousands of pounds are thus grown in Florida and 

 other Southern States during Winter and shipped to Northern markets at very attractive prices Our stock of 

 this famous Lettuce is the finest in the world and our low prices are consistent with the great quantitv of this 

 seed we sell each year. PKt. 5c. Oz. 10c. 1/4 Lb. 30c. 1/2 Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00.

 uniform strain of Improved White Loaf Lettuce. It quickly forms most delicious, large, 

 light-colored Lettuce Heads. As a frame Lettuce, it has no equal, often 18 heads have brought 

 $2.50 wholesale. It can be brought to market long before any other Lettuce begins to head.

133. A very celebrated variety, forming fine, large, solid heads, both crisp and delicate flavor; stands the heat 

 remarkably well, and is especially adapted to the Southern States, or for'planting to succeed the early varie- 

 ties in the North : it is a variety that can be sown at any season of the year and will do well.

 120. TAIT'S IMPERIAL CABBAGE LETTUCE.— This Lettuce has been thoroughly tested in different sea- 

 sons, and it can fairly claim to have successfully passed the experimental stage, being universally acknowl- 

 edged one of the hardiest Lettuce in existence. Some of the most successful growers in the vicinity of Norfolk 

 prefer it to any other sort. It is practically as hardy as any Winter cabbage, and will fill barrels almost as 

 rapidly, the heads being a foot across. The leaves are thick, crisp and stiff, and thus carry well in shipment. 

 The color is a bright green and holds well after cutting. As an open-air Lettuce, it is unexcelled for endur- 

 ance of extreme cold and yield per acre. PKts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. 2 Ozs. 25c. 1/4 Lb. 50c.

kind, viz: Earliness, large size, attractive color, etc. Its addi" 

 tioual value lies in the factthatitcan be sown almost the whole 

 year around; it resists summer heat remarkably well; is crisp 

 and solid when other sorts become tough and flabby under the 

 same conditions. PKt. 10c. Oz. 15c. 2 Ozs. 25c. 1/4 Lb. 50c.

126. Bolgiano's New Early Spring Lettuce.— in the early 

 Spring months, this splendid Lettuce does its best, producing 

 large Cabbage-like heads, which are uniform in size, tender, 

 crisp, and sell for the highest prices in the market. It has 

 won approval from our best Lettuce growers. PKts. 5c ® 10c. 

 Oz. 15c. 2 Ozs. 25c. 1/4 Lb. 40c. 1/2 Lb. 65c. Lb. $1.25. 



124 Bolg'iano'c Celebrated Big Head Lettuce.— Its beauti- 

 fuf form and color attract the attention of expert growers. It 

 forms a compact head, has no core, but a tender, golden 

 heart As a shipper it is unexcelled, commands the very best 

 prices demand always exceeds the supply. It resists the cold, 

 withstands the summer heat, always crisp, has a mild flavor,

 Blanching 1 Celery.— Most 

 Important. — While you can 

 readily afford to put your- 

 whole crop in our stock of this 

 most valuable Celery, you can- 

 not afford to let this year go 

 by without growing some of 



it. We have 

 positively re- 

 fused to sell all 

 Self -Blanching 

 Celery Seed ex- 

 cept this stock. 

 The Celery it 

 produces will 

 not only bring 

 the highest 

 market price, 

 but will create 

 a new price for 

 you; your com- 

 mission man 

 can get outside 

 figures for it, 

 and he will sell 

 quickly all you 

 can ship. Trv 

 stock ; YOUR 

 PRAISES will be 

 louder than ours. 

 Perfect, solid, crisp, 

 vigorous stalks; 

 thrifty, compact 

 growth, self-blanch- 

 ing to a very remark- 

 " able degree ; even 



the outer ribs become 

 a handsome, fresh, yellowish 

 color, with a heart that is large 

 and solid, of a beautiful, rich 

 golden yellow color. It never 

 becomes stringy or pethy. To 

 fully appreciate its beauty and 

 attractions, it must be seen. 

 Many of our customers place 

 their orders with us six months 

 before planting time in order 

 to be sure of this stock of seed.

72. Perfected White Plume 



Celery.— "The test of time" 

 has proven this excellent Cel- 

 ery to rank as a leader among 

 Celeries. It is most extensively 

 used on account of its extreme 

 earliness. Its stalks and por- 

 tions of its inner leaves and 

 heart are white naturally. By 

 simply tying the plant to- 

 gether, or by drawing the soil 

 firm against the plant with the 

 hand and repeating the opera- 

 tion to hold the soil already 

 against the plant in position, 

 the work of blanching is com- 

 pleted. PKts. 5c and 10c.

\ Dear Sirs — I have just finished cutting my Celery crop of 

 r three acres, 3064 crates selling f. o. b. here, for the nice little 

 \ sum of $6,120.72. This has been an off-year too for us, as well 

 r as other Florida points, and this was grown from your seed 

 ^ secured last summer. I had a quarter of an acre measured 

 and the Celery on it sold for $730.00. That was my heaviest 

 yield. Yours truly, H. H. Chappell. Fla.
