Hastings’ Florida Header 
Florida Header is one of our favorites. It has stood the 
test of time. We have sold it for 16 years, and it is recog¬ 
nized as one of the leading varieties for either market or 
home use. No better variety exists for anyone who wants 
large, solid heads. It's a large variety, heading quickly, 
and is slow to run to seed. Very resistant to both heat and 
cold, passing through severe freezes practically unharmed. 
It is crisp and tender, and its fine appearance adils greatly 
to its selling qualities. Infield tests it held up over two 
weeks over Big Boston before running to seed. 'Vou make 
no mistake in planting Florida Header for either market, 
shipping or home use. Packet, 5 cents; K oz., 10 cents; oz., 
15 cents; lb.,35 cents; lb., 81.25; 5 lbs., fc.OO. 
Hastings’ Superba Lettuce 
This is the biggest lettuce of all. It Is a most beautiful, 
solid, extra large heading variety, especially resistant to 
heat. Outside leaves light green, becoming more and more 
yellow toward the center. This will be found especially de¬ 
sirable for home gardens and nearby markets, but not for 
shipment for long distances. For crispness, tenderness, and 
freedom from bitterness it is unexcelled. Packet, 6 cents; 
ounce; 15 cents; pound, 35 cents; pound, 81.25.

New Dixie Hard Head Lettuce 
In a visit to one of our California seed farms some years 
ago, our Mr. Hastings was most favorably Impressed with 
this new extra hard heading lettuce. It was such a hard 
header that it was very difficult to get it to produce seed- In 
recent inspection trips he has been more and more im¬ 
pressed with its great value, both for the home and market 
gardener as well as superiority over any other known va¬ 
riety for hardness of head and slowness to run to seed in 
the spring. On the California farms every head has to be 
cut before it will throw seed stalks. See illustration above. 
In general character of growth and appearance it is 
much like the California Cream Butter, but is a much 
harder header, presents better appearance in market, and 
is slower than any other variety to run to seed. Heads large 
and solid. Seed supply rather limited as yet. Pkt.,5c.;i4 
oz., 10c.; oz., 15c.; % lb., 60c.i lb., 81.50; 5 lbs., 86.25.

localities. Good for open ground planting at all seasons in
