LETTUCE 
Laitue ©alat Lattuga 
Allow 1 ounce for 150 feet of drill; 3 pounds 
per acre 
BIG BOSTON. (White seed.) A splendid 
head Lettuce, perhaps the most gener¬ 
ally and favorably known of the varie¬ 
ties mentioned here. Forced in frames 
to great extent in the spring and is also 
planted in August for late crop. Does 
not do well for midsummer use, but as 
a fall or early spring Lettuce is one of 
the best. Large heads; center crisp 
and of fine flavor. Oz. 20 cts., V4lb. 
45 cts., lb. $1.25, 10 lbs. $12. 
BLACK-SEEDED BIG BOSTON. By 
far the most heat-resisting sort of this 
type. The plants are of a uniformly 
darker shade of green, grow more com¬ 
pactly, and stand several days longer 
than other strains of Big Boston, before 
running to seed. Oz. 25 cts., V^lb. 
65 cts., lb. $1.75, 10 lbs. $17. 
WHITE BOSTON. (White seed.) Similar to our Unrivaled 
Summer. A green-leaved Big Boston, forming uniformly large 
heads, free from the red tinge. It is of excellent quality and 
may be grown under coldframes, or is good for late fall plant¬ 
ing. Oz. 20 cts., V41b. 60 cts., lb. $1.60, 10 lbs. $15. 
NEW YOI^ or WONDERFUL. (White seed.) Possibly largest 
Lettuce in cultivation. It is quite distinct with its crisp, curly 
leaves and very dark color. This is the variety shipped into 
many markets under the name “Iceberg.” A sure-heading 
variety for spring and late summer planting. Oz. 25 cts., 
y 4 lb. 65 cts., lb. $1.75, 10 lbs. $17. 
NEW YORK NO. 12. A selection from New York, producing 
large heads; early. Found very desirable for eastern condi¬ 
tions. Oz. 30 cts., V 4 lb. 75 cts., lb. $2, 10 lbs. $19. 
SALAMANDER PERFECTED. (Black seed.) For summer use 
there are few Lettuces better or more favorably known. The 
critical market-gardener will find few Lettuces to equal It for 
summer use, as it remains longer in head before running to seed 
than most sorts. The heads are good-sized, compact, tender, 
creamy white inside, outer leaves light green and of most ex¬ 
cellent flavor. Oz. 20 cts., Vilb. 55 cts., lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $14.
