Big Boston Lettuce 



A GRAND LARGE CABBAGE LETTUCE 

 Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp, Creamy- White Heads 



This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, 

 has proved to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is 

 now more extensively grown than any other kind of Lettuce, either for the 

 private table or for sale,- North, South, East or West: whether grown in 

 the open ground for early summer and fall use, in frames fo-r spring, or 

 forced cool in greenhouses for winter use. It invariably gives both 

 grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily 

 favorable conditions, splendid, large, creamy-white heads, packed ■with 

 thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender and sweet, delighting both the 

 palate and the eye. This grand variety makes a handsome plant,. with 

 but few outside leaves, and stands long before bolting to seed. Big 

 Boston is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it succeeds 

 at all seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly 

 adapted for late fall culture. Lar^e areas of it may be seen in the vicinity 

 of New York as late as Nov. 15tn; a slight covering of salt marsh hay 

 amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when cut for market 

 'are as fresh, bright and untinged as at any season. Thousands of acres 

 of it are grown during the winter in Florida and other Southern States 

 for shipping to Northern markets; in every state it is wonderfully popular; 

 in fact, we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfaction 

 under such varving conditions. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c.
