HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



LETTUCE— Continued. 



Early Mav King" early outdoor Lettuce; while it can also be easily and most satisfactorily 



° raised in a cold-frame. It is not easily affected by cold or wet weather, grows 

 very quickly and produces, even in poor soil, splendid globular heads, which are ready ten to fif- 

 teen days before other heading varieties, and stands a long time before showing signs of running t(» 

 seed. The leaves inside are of a golden yellow shade; and in point of flavor unexcelled by any 

 sort. Pkt., sc.; oz., 15c.; J4 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



Maximum, or Immensity ^ very large heading variety, one of the largest of the cabbage sorts 



and almost a third larger than Galifornia Cream Butter, which it re- 

 sembles in color and shape. It is especially adapted for planting in the spring and summer, and 

 makes a fine, tender, buttery head. A number of our best local market gardeners have been grow- 

 ing it and tind it unsurpassed for fine, heavy shipping variety. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; j/4 lb.. 40c.; lb., $1.25. 

 White Loaf large heading lettuce, with a light green color; crisp and tender; unsurpassed 



for outdoor planting in the fall to stand over winter, and equally, good for cold 

 frame culture. I do not recommend it for early spring sowing, as it has a tendency to shoot to 

 seed when the weather becomes warm. Pkts., 5c. and lOc; oz., 15c.; % lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25. 

 Biff Boston ^ l^rge-heading forcing sort, and succeeds well in cold-frames during the win- 



° ter. The plants are very hardy and vigorous. Popular in the South as a winter 



Lettuce for shipping North. Pkt., 5c and loc; % lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



Golden Oueen ^ early head Lettuce, and one of the best sorts for early outdoor planting 

 ^ as well as for growing under glass. The color is a beautiful golden yellow.

 Hubbard Market popular variety for outdoor growing. Makes large, solid heads. Stands 

 cold weather. Pkts., 5c and lOc; oz., 15c.; % lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



ImiDroved Biff Boston ^ sterling new variety of the Big Boston type, but without the brown- 

 " ° ish tinge which appears in that variety. It is similar in shape, appear- 



ance and growth to the Big Boston, but with the added attractiveness of being a most decided im- 

 provement. Pkts., 5c and lOc; oz., 15c.; ^ lb., 35c.
