The top photosraph shows a large field of lettuce in bloom on one of our California ranches. The plants are about ready to form seed. 



At the left, men are spreading out the seed that it may become thoroughly dry before threshing. At the right are some of our head 



lettuce trials. These are made to insure the superior quality of our seeds before they are offered to you. 



f HUBBARD'S MARKET 67 days. Well known cabbage, 

 butter-heading variety; also popular in Cuba and South 

 America. Plant dark green with crumpled straight edged 

 leaves; compact; forms medium sized, fairly firm, globular 

 head which is well blanched, buttery and sweet. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 



ICEBERG 82 days. Very popular for home gardens; tender 

 head and thin leaves make it unsuitable for shipping. Plant 

 large with broad, crisp, wavy light green leaves tinged 

 brown on margins. Head very large, hard, crumpled; white 

 inside; crisp, very sweet and of good quality, but not 

 buttery. Must not be confused with the familiar shipping 

 variety, New York, which is commonly called Iceberg by 

 shippers and green grocers.

NEW YORK SPECIAL NO. 12 An early variety which does 

 well in mid-summer and is an even and well-bred selection. 

 It is a trifle lighter in color than other strains of New 

 York, but is popular with shippers. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 14 lb. 80c; lb. $1.75. 



NEW YORK SPECIAL NO. 41 A strain we have developed 

 with wrapper leaves which fold over the head and protect 

 it from sun and fog burn. It is a finely bred selection, 

 runs almost perfectly true, and is popular with shippers 

 for fall and winter use. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; M lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 



SALAMANDER 70 days. Particularly popular with market 

 gardeners because it forms fairly good heads when the 

 weather is so warm that most varieties fail. Head globular, 

 hard and buttery; of sweet, delicate flavor. The same as 

 Black Seeded Tennisball. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 65c; lb. $1.75. 



WHITE BOSTON 76days. Our White Boston is the perfected 

 pure-bred strain of Unrivaled. This is a cabbage, butter- 

 head type, leaves smooth and straight on the edges. Plant 

 and head entirely light green; heart buttery and yellow. 

 This strain is the best in existence, and we have given 

 it this name to distinguish it from Big Boston.
