WHITE BOSTON N. J. SPECIAL, a new, very high-class pale green- 
- leaved Big Boston type witho 
the red-tinged leaf-edge. A surely dependable sort for growing in coldframes 
and for first field-planting in the early spring. Lettuce from this strain is 
not quite as large-framed but it cuts nearly as heavy in number of crates as 
the regular Big Boston, and it sells quicker and at higher prices. The heads 
show comparative freedom from tip-burn. 
NEW YORK. This is a very large and robust growing crisp cabbage- 
-- heading variety, rooting deeply, resisting hot, dry weather, 
is very slow to run to seed, and is a sure header under most trying conditions. 
The solid heads often measure 15 inches across. The leaves are broad, 
fairly blistered, crumpled and twisted, thick, stiff and coarse and overlap one 
another very tightly. The outer leaves are a dull, very dark green and the 
interior blanches creamy white, is crisp, tender, and of good quality. Very New York Lettuce 
fine for main summer crop, and for shipping. 
NEW YORK NO. 12. 
An outstanding selection of this variety, No. 12 
is much earlier. Makes large solid heads, uniform 
in maturing, of the flathead type and slightly lighter in color. 
MUCK-SOIL STRAIN BIG BOSTON. Tested out on muck 
localities 
rious 
since 
in va- 
1924, 
it has given wonderful satisfaction. The big, solid, crisp heads mature early, 
are larger framed, and do not “bottom-rot” as readily as other strains. They 
run very uniform both as to large size and attractive bright green color. 
Big Boston, White-seeded. The large, 
flattened heads are solid and crisp. 
Plants are large, very hardy, and 
vigorous. Leaves smooth, thin, 
light green; edges wavy and 
tinged brown. A fine shipper. 
Big Boston, Black-seeded. Resembles 
White-seeded Big Boston but is larger. 
Black-seeded Tennisball. This forcing 
strain is earlier than ordinary strains. A 
very sure header; heads globular, firm and 
well blanched; leaves broad and crump¬ 
led; medium green, never spotted brown. 
May King. Early, compact, medium¬ 
sized heads of excellent quality. Outer 
leaves yellowish green, tinged reddish 
brown when mature. Hearts blanch 
to a rich golden yellow, and are tender 
and buttery. Fine for forcing. 
Salamander. Stands hot weather and 
forms a large, compact, light green 
with broad, thick, crumpled 
closely overlapping leaves 
ROMAINE, Trianon Cos. Head tall, firm, and very thick, blunt at 
top. Leaves are very light green, crimped, broad-ribbed, and long 
narrow spoon-shaped. Several days earlier than any other Cos. 
Loose-Leaved Varieties 
BLACK-SEEDED SIMPSON. A very large, 
clustering sort of attractive light yellowish 
green. The leaves are ruffled and blistered 
and of surprising tenderness. This is also 
used for under glass or in frames. 
GRAND RAPIDS. Hardy, of quick growth, 
and fine for greenhouse forcing. The plant 
is carried upright, well above the soil, is 
little liable to rot and rust. It forms loose 
clusters of large, thin, bright green leaves, 
savoyed and finely crimped at the edges. 
Does not wilt quickly after cutting.
