Green-Leaved Big Boston 



PROVEIN STOCK OF A NEW BIG BOSTON WHICH 

 IS FREE FROM THE RED TINGE ON THE LEAF 



Although our supply of this Lettuce was received too late for very general distribution last season we, never- 

 theless, were fortunate in placing a quantity of the seed among our very best market-garden trade. At this writing 

 all reports received of this Lettuce have been almost without parallel. For some time we have been making a 

 strong effort to procure a stock of Big Boston which was absolutely free from any red tinge. We felt all along 

 that such a Lettuce would command a higher price on the markets, and experience with this one has proved it, 

 for even in our most depressed markets of this past season our Green-leaved Big Boston averaged 15 cents per 

 box over any Big Boston Lettuce offered. This, we feel, is as strong a test as it could possibly have. Green- 

 leaved Big Boston is about two weeks earlier than our S. S. Big Boston. Its heads are large, uniform and of a 

 bright green color with positively none of the usual red tinge. If you have been looking for a Big Boston Lettuce 

 which is a sure header and all green in color you cannot do better than fall back on this magnificent new Lettuce. 

 All the stock which we offer has been thoroughly tested for purity and found to be about 99 per cent true 

 to type. Green-leaved Big Boston must not be confused with French Unrivaled, which is smaller heading and 

 somewhat later in season. All of our seed is imported from a French grower, and for this reason we have been 

 particularly careful to make strain tests which would prove beyond any doubt the true quality of the seed which 

 we are offering. Our supply is somewhat limited, and we would advise all who would be sure of laying in a supply 

 of this Lettuce to order before the season is too far advanced, for at the present writing there is not enough to 

 go around. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., ^Ih. $1.25, lb. $4.
