the spring were tried out. The vegetable seeds 
were Big Boston Lettuce and Ponderosa To¬

results. The Lettuce was all you claim for it,

Big Boston Lettuce 
A GRAND, LARGE, CABBAGE LETTUCE 
Big, Compact, 'Bender and Crisp, Creamy-White Heads 
This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago; 
has proved to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is 
now more extensively grown than any other kind of Lettuce, either lor the 
private table or for sale, North, South, East or West; whether grown in 
the open ground for early summer and fall use, in frames for spring, or 
forced cool in greenhouses for winter use. It invariably gives both 
grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily 
favorable conditions, splendid, large, creamy-white heads, packed with 
thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender and sweet, delighting both the 
palate and the eye. This grand variety makes a handsome plant, with 
but few outside leaves, and stands long before bolting to seed. Big 
Boston is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it succeeds 
at all seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly 
adapted for late fall culture. Large areas of it may be seen in the vicinity 
of New York as late as Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt marsh hay 
amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when cut for market 
are as fresh, bright and untinged as at any season. Thousands of acres 
of it are grown during the winter in Florida and other Southern States 
for shipping to Northern markets; in every State it is wonderfully popu¬ 
lar; in tact, we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfac¬ 
tion under such varying conditions. As many of our customers have 
said: “It is the best Head Lettuce on earth.” {See engraving.) Price, 
10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. lb., $2.50 lb..
