it has a resistant quality so that this strain is likely 
to be used considerably in the Imperial Valley as 
well as in other sections. It is quite attractive and 
on account of the goodly number of leaves it is a 
good packer. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 
NEW YORK NO. 12 
This is an introduction brought out by one of the 
large growers and is particularly well adapted to 
mid-summer planting. It has a medium sized head, 
reasonably firm but without covering leaves. In fact 
it is classed as a bald headed type. It is lighter in 
color than the regular New York, having a yellow 
green cast. This strain is claiming a large place 
for itself just now and for cutting the past mid¬ 
summer. It was the leader in quality. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; 14 lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 
IMPROVED HANSON 
A white seeded lettuce of American origin, espe¬ 
cially adapted to outdoor culture. The leaves are 
crumbled, the head proper is hard, tender and crisp, 
with white blanched appearance at the center. The 
average size is quite large. In table quality this 
lettuce is free from bitter taste, having sweet, rich 
flavor, even to the outer leaves. Resists heat and 
drouth well, and is slow to run to seed. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; lb. $1.25. 
BIG BOSTON 
This is a fine forcing variety for cold frames 
during the winter months, as it produces heads of 
very large size, often 10 to 12 inches across, and 
succeeds better in a cooler temperature than most 
forcing strains. The large heads are beautifully 
blanched and of superior quality. It heads well, also 
in the open ground during cool weather or spring 
and fall, and is very popular in the South to grow 
for shipping North. Our seed is the choicest it is 
possible to produce. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; 
lb. $1.00. 
CURLED OR LOOSE LEAF VARIETIES 
EARLY CURLED SIMPSON 
One of the best early sorts for market or family 
use; recommended for general cultivation. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
GRAND RAPIDS 
As a lettuce for greenhouse forcing, this variety 
undoubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of 
quick growth, little liable to rot, and standing for 
some days after being fit to cut. The plant is up¬ 
right and forms a large, loose head or cluster of 
yellowish green leaves. Slightly crimped and blis¬ 
tered and rather thin. It will stand shipping long 
distances better than most sorts. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
One of the best, either for forcing under glass 
or for open ground culture. It forms large thin, 
loose leaves, light green color, very tender, crisp 
and of fine quality. A fine sort for summer, as it 
withstands the heat; also for the home garden. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
