Lettuce 
A STRAIN OF OUR OWN SELECTION. FREE FROM ROGUES 
In this we have the ideal of perfection, being free from the rogues 
found in almost every stock grown. This variety does not form heads. 
The plants make large, compact bunches of light golden foliage, the leaves 
having finely curled or fringed edges. Its delicious quality and handsome 
appearance make it most popular in many markets during the winter. -It is 
useful also for outdoor planting during the spring and fall. See illustra- 
tion. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., ilb. 40 cts., Ib. $1.25, postpaid. 
HOLMES' ZERO LETTUCE 
Exactly as hardy against the inclemencies of the winter weather as the 
winter Lettuce, Nansen, introduced a few years ago. This new variety 
produces large, solid heads of a yellowish green color, being very crisp and 
of the most delicious flavor. Of great value for market-gardeners. Pkt 
jo cts., oz. 2o B cts., Mlb. 70 cts., Ib. S2.50. 
HOLMES',, ZERO LETTUCE 
Holmes' Improved Big Boston lettuce 
A SELECTED 
STRAIN OF OUR OWN 
We can 
Ibe desired in a 
unhesitatingly say that this new strain, which we have decided to call Holmes' Improved Big Boston, is as near perfection as could 
Lettuce. The illustration was photographed from two heads procured from one of our customers who_gave it a trial alongside 
the old variety , and pro- 
nounced it the finest 
strain he ever saw or 
raised. It is bound to be 
a popular variety with 
those gardeners who 
want a large-heading 
forcing sort, and also for 
outdoor winter culture. 
The plants are large, 
very vigorous, with broad, 
comparatively smooth, 
thin and very hard leaves 
which are bright, light 
green in color, and when 
well grown are quite ten-, 
der. Indoors this forms 
a solid head, while out- 
side it is less distinctively 
a heading sort. Grown 
in the South as a winter 
Lettuce. Pkt. 5 cts., 
oz. 20 cts., 2 ozs.

Ib. $1.75.

I am glad to say that your 
seeds were excellent. They 
all cameup well and the let- 
tucewas especially fine. The 
heads were both arge and 
solid, and I think every seed 
made a plant.
