Lattich (Ger.)

An ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of row. About 2 lbs. per acre. 
Lattuga (It.) 
White Boston 
Special Strain 
You cannot get a bet¬ 
ter strain of White Boston 
Lettuce no matter what 
you pay for the seed. Our 
stock is fully equal to any 
strain obtainable even at 
twice or three times the 
price we charge. 
One important thing 
about the Harris’ Strain of 
White Boston is the uni¬ 
form manner in which it 
heads, so that there is 
practically no waste in cut¬ 
ting a crop. More of this 
lettuce is being planted each year as muck land growers in increasingly large numbers find this 
variety is the most profitable kind to grow for a major part of their lettuce crop. See price below. 
Harris’ White Boston Lettuce 
HARRIS’ SPECIAL BIG BOSTON LETTUCE 
The strain we offer of this popular variety is exceptionally fine. The heads are uniformly 
solid and compact, and stand a long time without bolting. Some of the largest growers in this 
country both on muck and upland use Harris’ Big Boston in preference to any other stock. We 
are confident there is no better Big Boston. See price below. 
New York No. 515— A New ^^Iceberg” Lettuce for the East 
This early strain of New York or Wonderful is the surest heading stock which we have ever 
grown. In our trials this year every plant made a good solid head even during the hot weather. 
In type and general appearance this new strain is much the same as New York No. 12, having 
large solid heads (see photo on back cover) with few outside leaves, and is of an attractive bright . 
green color. In our trials New York No. 515 matured a little earlier than New York No. 12. 
We urge growers who have not been successful in raising the New York type of lettuce to 
try this new strain. For the many who have success with New York No. 12, we believe that 
New York No. 515 should be grown as a companion crop to this valuable variety. 
Warning. Up to this time no variety of New York lettuce has been found that will head well 
when grown on muck soils and we do not recommend New York No. 515 for muck. See prices below.
