Hastings’ Florida Header(No.2l5) 
Florida Header is one of our favorites that has stood 
the test of time. We have sold it since 1897, and it is 
recognized as one of the leading varieties for either 
market or home use. No better variety exists for any- 
one who wants large solid heads ; heads quickly, yet is 
slow to run to seed. Very resistant to both heat and 
cold, passing through severe freezes practically un- 
harmed. Crisp and tender, and its fine appearance adds 
greatly to its selling qualities. In field tests it held up 
and is slower than any other variety except Dixie Hard 
Head to run to seed. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 
% pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25; postpaid. Five-pound 
lots or over, $1.00 per pound, not prepaid.
