curly, very tender leaves are of 
very good quality, remaining in 
fine condition for some time.

DARK COS. In this 
Cos we are offering 
something new. We 
have developed it 
with the idea in mind 
that it would with¬ 
stand heat and bad 
weather conditions. 
Our experiments 
have proved it to be 
far superior in this 
respect. The leaves 
are dark green with 
a self-folding head. 
Height is about 15 
inches. We believe 
this to be a very 
valuable commercial 
type, and will gladly 
furnish a liberal sam¬ 
ple of seed to those 
who have not already 
triedit. Pkt. 10cts.; k- 
oz. 15 cts.; 141 b. 50 
cts.; lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $16.50.

quick-growing habit, and a solid, very crisp head of fine flavor that bleaches as it grows. It is not so 
apt to blast as some of the light-colored strains, therefore more sure to make a crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 
cts.; i/ 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.
