Kopfsalat (Ger.) LETTUCE Lattuga (It.) 
A packet will sow about 30 feel of row; an ounce 230 feet. 
Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce. 
By making successive sowings you can have a supply of lettuce through¬ 
out the season from little space. The loose leaf varieties, such as Black 
Seeded Simpson, Grand Rapids or Prize Head may be thinned to four to 
six inches when they come up and then every other one taken out and 
used as they get larger. To get really fine lettuce use the heading 
varieties such as White Boston, Mignonette, New York No. 515, etc. and 
thin to 12-15 inches while the plants are still small. 
BIG BOSTON, Harris’ Special Strain. The heads are large, firm and 
of excellent quality. Our strain of this lettuce is exceptionally fine. 
The heads are uniformly solid and compact, and stand a long time. 
Big Boston is one of the best varieties for late crop, as it heads well in 
cold weather and is not injured by slight freezing.

raising head lettuce in your garden we would advise that you try this 
new strain. It is the surest heading strain of the New York or Iceberg 
type we know and in our trials practically every plant made a good solid 
head, even during the hot weather we had in July. Sowings made 
about August first produce good heads right up to heavy frosts.

sembles in general appearance. The heads are large, solid and at¬ 
tractive; bright green in color and fine and crisp.
