Special Strain 
Lattich (Ger.) LETTUCE 
An ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of row. About 2 lbs. per acre. 
White Boston Lettuce 
Lattuga (It.) 
Our strain of this variety is the very 
best that money can buy. It is fully equal 
to any strain obtainable even at twice or 
three times the price we charge for the 
seed. You cannot get better seed no matter 
what you pay for it. 
One important thing about our strain 
of this lettuce is the uniform manner in 
which it heads, so that there is practically 
no waste in cutting a crop. 
More of this lettuce is being planted 
each year. Muck land growers in increas¬ 
ingly large numbers find this variety a very 
profitable kind to grow for a major part of 
their lettuce crop.
