White Big Boston (Special) Lettuce 
For several years we have been producing and selling an exceptionally fine strain of White Big Boston. 
We developed the stock ourselves, making sure that the frame and head were large enough. It resembles 
Big Boston in appearance. The leaves are a trifle smoother than most varieties of Big Boston, and do not 
turn red in cool or cold weather. The head and frame are just as large as any Big Boston; the stock is true. 
The fact that it does not turn red in cool weather makes it a most valuable shipper, for it often brings a 
premium over the Big Boston type. We recommend it highly for growing under coldframes, first planting 
or drilling in the spring and for all fall plantings.
