Hastings’ Florida Header ( No. 2 1 5) 
BUTTER HEAD TYPE — Florida Header is one of our 
favorites that has stood the test of time, recognized as 
a leading variety for market or home use. No better 
variety exists for anyone who wants large solid heads ; 
heads quickly, yet is slow to run to seed. Very re- 
sistant to both heat and cold, passing through severe 
freezes practically unharmed. Crisp and tender, and 
its fine appearance adds greatly to its selling qualities. 
It does fine in field tests and is slower than any other 
variety except Dixie Hard Head to run to seed. Pack- 
et, 5c; ounce, 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25; postpaid. Not 
prepaid: 6 pounds or over, $1.00 per pound.

New Dixie Hard Head Lettuce 
/||a 99 I \ butter head TYPE—II is such a 
hard header that it is very difficult to 
get it to produce seed. Each year we are more and 
more impressed with its great value, both for the 
home and market gardener. 
In general character of growth and appearance it is 
much like the California Cream Butter, but is much 
harder header, presents better appearance in market, 
and is slower than any other variety to run to seed. 
Heads large and solid. Packet, 10c; ounce, 20c; % 
pound, 50c ; lb., $1.25 ; postpaid. 5 lbs., not prepaid, $5.00.
