SELECT BIG BOSTON 
This is a fine forcing variety for cold-frames 
during the winter months, as it produces 
heads of very large size, often ten to twelve 
inches across, and succeeds better in a cooler 
temperature than most forcing strains. The 
large heads are beautifully blanched and of 
superior quality. It heads well also in the 
open ground during cool weather of spring 
and fall, and is very popular in the South to 
grow for shipping North. ^ lb. SOc; oz.

ing in the open ground. It is extremely hardy 
and very quick growing. The plants grow six 
to seven inches in diameter, with the outer 
leaves folded closely, forming the plant into 
a solid head. The outer leaves are light green, 
slightly tinged with brown; the inner leaves 
are bright yellow and of a fine. nch. buttery 
aavor. Each head will weigh neariy a pound 
on the average. H lb. 75c.; oz. 25c.; pkt. 10c. 
IMPROVED HANSON 
The Hanson is one of the most valuable of 
the crisp heading sorts. It is in all respec^ 
one of the very best out-door varieties for both 
the professional and amateur gardener. It is 
very hardy and will stand extremes of weather 
better, perhaps, than any other of the ' crisp 
heading" sorts. . ^. 
In color it is of an attractive green. Ihe 
head, which attains a large size, is hard, tender 
and crisp, with a blanched appearance in the 
""i^is of capital table quality, wholly free 
from bitterness and remains in excellent condi- 
tion for use long after it has reached maturity.
