ABCO Lettuce 
ABCO LETTUCE 
Here is a type of Lettuce that we have selected out of our special stock of White Big 
Boston. What we have done is select the smaller ones with a smooth, thick leaf. These, 
we have noted, are rather rugged, will stand more sun, and mature about 5 days earlier, 
making one of the hardest heads we have ever seen in Lettuce. Coming out of the White 
Boston type, they do not show any redness in cool or even frosty weather. It is plenty large 
enough to pack two dozen in a standard Lettuce crate. We recommend this for early spring 
or fall use, under glass or outside. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; Vitt). 75 cts.; lb. $2.50; 10 lbs. $22.50 
ABBOTT & COBB S SPECIAL 
BIG BOSTON 
Our stock of Big Boston is, without 
doubt, the finest to be had anywhere. We 
have gone to great trouble and expense to 
produce the very best strain of this desirable 
variety. By careful test it has proved the 
best out of thirty different strains. The 
leaves are thick and dark green, producing 
very solid white heads. We recommend this 
variety to particular growers. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; Vilb.45 cts.; lb.$1.25; 10 lbs.$11. 
ALL-SEASONS. Very dark green leaves, forming 
a very large, compact head, but does not head 
well during July and August. A fine strain for 
spring and fall use. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 
V 4 lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2; 10 lbs. $17.50. 
IDEAL. This is the earliest variety we know, pro¬ 
ducing a leaf similar to the old type Salamander 
or May King. The frame is exceptionally large, 
and while the head is not quite so hard as some 
varieties, its earliness really makes it valuable. 
It is often put on the market 10 days ahead of 
Big Boston or White Big Boston. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 20 cts.; l / 4 Vo. 65 cts.; lb. $2; 10 lbs. $17.50. 
SALAMANDER. One of the most desirable for 
all-season growing, producing very solid and 
tender heads of excellent quality at all seasons. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; l / 4 l b. 50 cts.; lb. $1.50; 
10 lbs. $12.50. 
ALLHEART. Resembles Salamander in appearance 
but the heads are not quite so large. It is the best 
hot-weather Lettuce that we know, having with¬ 
stood repeated tests on hot, hard soil. This is one 
of our specials. It is the strain unsurpassed. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; l / 4 \ b. 50 cts.; lb. $1.50; 
10 lbs. $12.50.
