Heading or Cabbage Varieties sowing seed to

Big Boston, w. s. ___ 75 
In Europe it is known as Trocadero. A very popular variety for 
cold frame forcing and for outside culture; excellent for shipping 
limited distances. Head of medium size, and compact, with creamy 
yellow heart. Leaves smooth, glossy, wavy at the edge. Slightly 
tinged with reddish brown. 
Special Big Boston w. s. Extra Select 
Heads creamy white whether grown in open garden or under glass. 
Very large, slightly tinged with reddish brown, solid and uniform. 
White Seed. Seed saved from a selection better than that pro¬ 
ducing the ordinary stock of Seed. It has a high reputation in the 
market-gardening sections. The most generally used variety. We 
advise all to plant this excellent strain of Big Boston.

Very desirable for home garden and for truckers serving local mar¬ 
kets. A large, late variety with wavy, fringed, light green leaves, 
Tinged at the edges with brown. Heads compact, crumpled, crisp

New York, which is often called Iceberg by produce shippers and 
handlers.
