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 winter 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 grown 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 my 
customers to grow Big Boston. Price: Lb. $2, Vilb. 65 cts., oz. 20 cts., pkt. 5 cts. ORDER NOW. 
L. E. Hartman, Market-Gardener, says — 
"Last season I sowed your Big Boston lettuce 
beside some I purchased elsewhere. The difference 
was very noticeable. Your strain is really the best 
I ever grew. I made $20o above all expenses on 
one-fifth of an acre of it this season. I have kept 
an accurate account." — If it pays him it will pay 
you to sow my special strain of Big Boston. 
"I have used your lettuce for seven years exclu- 
sively and tliink it the finest obtainable. Always so 
very tender." I. S. Billman. 
"Your lettuce seed produced the best crop of 
lettuce I ever grew. I am well pleased with Eill the 
seeds I ever get from you." Samuel Ditty.
