Hardy Green Winter. The standard Winter sort. 
Of delicious flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 40c.

riety. Outer leaves light green, curly, and finely 
fringed. Hearts are of a beautiful white color,

New York. The most largely used lettuce, grown 
in immense quantities on the Pacific Coast and 
shipped to all parts of the country. This is a de¬ 
cidedly crisp, cabbage-heading variety. It is very 
large and robust growing, rooting deeply, resist¬ 
ing hot, dry weather, is very slow to run to seed. 
Its sure-heading quality makes it unsurpassed for 
spring and summer. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 50c; 
1 lb., $1.50. 
St. L. S. Co.’s Rig Market Garden. 
St. Louis Market. A great favorite among the 
gardeners for summer sowing. Its large heads of 
crisp, buttery flavor have made this the most 
popular market variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 
40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
St. L. S. Co.’s Big Boston. Especially valuable 
for summer and fall use out-of-doors, and for 
hotbed and cold frame culture. It is a cabbage 
butter-head type with glossy, plain edged leaves 
tinged brown on the margins; forms a firm, well 
folded head, butter-yellow at the heart and of 
excellent quality. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; Vi lb., 40c; 
1 lb., $1.25. 
*St. Louis Seed Co.’s Big Market Garden. This 
is the most extensively grown lettuce either for 
market or private tables. Whether grown in the 
open ground for early spring or fall use, or in 
frames for spring, it invariably gives both the 
grower and user the utmost satisfaction, pro¬ 
ducing under ordinarily favorable conditions, 
splendid buttery-yellow heads, packed with 
thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50.
