LETTUCE 
Lattuza (It.) 
An ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of row. About 2 lbs. per acre. 
New York No. 515 
A New “California Iceberg” Lettuce 
for the East 
This early strain of New York 
or Wonderful is the surest heading 
stock which we have ever grown. 
Nearly 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 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. See price below. 
New York No. 515 Lettuce. Grown on Moreton Farm 
White Boston —Special Strain 
During the past summer on muck land our stock showed remarkable freedom from “tip 
burn” at times when many other stocks were 100% infected. 
You cannot get a better strain of White Boston Lettuce no matter what you pay for the 
seed. Our stock is 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 uniform manner in 
which it heads, so that there is practically no waste in cutting a crop. See price below. 
Grand Rapids U. S. No. 1—A Better Forcing Curly Lettuce 
This new strain of Grand Rapids has proved to be very superior both for forcing and outdoor 
growing where a “curly” lettuce is desired and is well worth trying. The plants are a little larger 
and more robust than other strains, very uniform for size and well curled. The color is the much 
desired light green. See price below. 
BIG BOSTON. Special Strain.(100 lbs. $90.00) 
We offer an exceptionally fine strain of this popular variety. The heads are 
solid and compact, standing a long time without bolting. We can confidently 
state that there is no better stock than ours.

and the plants strong and sturdy.
