PERFECTION RED CABBAGE. 
FIRST PRIZE. 
This Buxton’s Strain is without doubt the best “Red’' 
brought to Boston market, and is unsurpassed by any in color, 
size, compactness of growth, certainty of heading and solidity. 
It is the result of years of careful and skilled selection for 
these desirable points, and is nearer to what its name implies— 
Perfection— than any other Red Cabbage. We could print 
many testimonials from successful market and private growers 
regarding its excellence, but it is too well known and popular to 
require them. First prizes have always been awarded it at the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society's shows and elsewhere when 
exhibited. Per pkt., io cts.; ounce, 40 cts.; pound, $4.00. 
BRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET CAULIFLOWER. 
Since we introduced Breck’s White Bouquet Cauliflower 
four years ago, it has. on its merits, found its way into 
nearly all the best private and market gardens in New Eng¬ 
land, as well as many other States. We claimed it to be in 
all respects equal at least to any other sort in cultivation. 
Now a great many of our customers, who have grown it, 
claim it is better than all other sorts, no matter at what 
price offered. We have continually aimed to improve the 
strain, if possible, by selection, and we feel we have suc¬ 
ceeded in producing a type that is without an equal, either 
for forcing or open-ground cultivation. It is earlier than 
any other cauliflower, produces a larger percentage of solid 
pure-white heads, averaging ten inches in diameter, is 
dwarfer, and more compact in habit, and has no useless, 
rank-growing outer leaves to take up space. Its natural 
early maturing, coupled with its neat form of growth, make 
it peculiarly suitable for growing under glass during winter 
or spring. We own the entire seed stock, and every package 
of the genuine will be sealed with our trade-mark. Per pkt., 
25 cts.; ounce, $3.50; H pound, $12.00. 
WARD’S TENNISBALL LETTUCE. 
This is a fine selection of the White-seeded Tennisball, and is exceedingly valuable 
for forcing. We recommend it, with much confidence to all who prefer the Boston 
Market type. Per pkt., 10 cts ; ounce, 40 cts. 
We had two acres of Brock's While Bouquet Cauliftower 
last season. It proved more, satisfactory and profitable than 
any other variety we ever grew. 
W. G., Woburn, Mass. 
SENSATION LETTUCE. 
This lettuce has been received with much favor by all who have grown it either as a forcing variety or out 
doors. It is a beautiful light yellowish-green color, leaves much blistered on the surface, and of verv superior 
even quality. It has the peculiarity of forming a solid head, even before half grown. It is the shyest seeder of 
any lettuce we have ever seen. Per pkt., 5 cts.; ounce, 30 cts. 
NEW BOSTON MARKET LETTUCE. 
(ALSO KNOWN AS “ BIG BOSTON.”) 
This variety is a distinct strain of the popular Boston Market Lettuce, and is identical to it in all 
respects except size and time of maturing. It is very desirable for both open ground and forcing, and although 
perhaps a week later than the common sort, its immense solid heads will commend it to the market grower, 
while its excellent quality is sure to make it a favorite in the home garden. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; ounce, 30 cts. ; 
% pound, $1.00. 
HITTINGER’S BELMONT FORCING LETTUCE. 
We offer seed of this improved forcing lettuce that was grown especially 
for us by Mr. Ward. This variety is displacing the Boston Market. It is a 
sure cropper, not liable to dampen off and of extra crisp quality. Per pkt., 
5 cts.; ounce, 40 cts. 
I have used your seeds for 
four years. They give good 
satisfaction.
