Schell's Big Boston Lettuce 
A grand variety for early, midsummer or fall use. Big, compact, cabbage-like heads, as yellow as gold 
inside and deliciously sweet, tender and crisp. It is more extensively grown than any other Lettuce 
either for the private garden or for market. It is grown by market-gardeners everywhere in the open 
ground for summer and fall; in frames for early spring; forced cool in greenhouses for \vinter use, or 
planted out in fall with protection for early spring use. Our gardeners grow enormous crops of Big 
Boston on a comparatively small acreage because it can be planted close. The heads are very compact, 
as shown in this illustration, very few loose outside leaves, almost all head. It keeps its fine quality 
longer after being cut than most others, thus giving it added value for shipping. Thousands of acres 
of it are grow^n in the South during the winter for shipping to northern markets. My strain of it is 
the finest in cultivation. I want every one of mv customers to grow Big Boston. Price: Lb. $1.50, 
Vilb. 50 cts., oz. 15 cts., 2 ozs. 25 cts., pkt. 5 cts. ORDER NOW.
