haps the best head lettuce for this section. Pkt.,

BIG BOSTON. Early, large, bright green heads,

One of the most popular and widely grown varie¬ 
ties. The plants are large, hardy and vigorous.

yellow. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 40c; y s lb., 70c;

tuce with a conical, rather tight head, dark green 
in color with smooth, thick leaves. Blanches to 
a beautiful white inside, when it becomes exceed¬ 
ingly crisp and sweet. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 
40c; 14 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
Culture. For very early use the seed may be sown in hotbed, and 
as soon as the warm weather permits, may be sown in the open 
ground, in rows 18 inches apart and not over one-half inch deep. If 
planted too deep the seed will not germinate. Sow every two or three 
weeks for a succession. 
One ounce for 200 feet of drill. About 2,000 seeds to the packet. 
Kopfsalat HEADING Salat 
(German) VARIETIES (Scandinavian) 
MIGNONETTE. The earliest and surest heading sort, fine 
for home gardens and fit for use 6 days before May King. 
The heads are small and the outer leaves are medium 
dark brown with a dark greenish tinge. Probably the 
most delicate in flavor and tender in texture of the crisp 
varieties, this is slow to shoot to seed for so early a sort. 
Very reliable for Spring and Fall sowing and one of the 
most compact and hardest heading of all lettuces. Not 
a market gardener’s variety, but its earliness and quality 
make it one of the very best sorts for the home garden. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; V4 lb., 60c; y 2 lb., $1.00; 1 lb., $1.85, 
postpaid. 
Crisp-As-Ice 
Black Seeded 
Improved 
Hanson 
IMPROVED HANSON. One of the most reliable, 
sure heading sorts—the earliest of the Crisp Head 
Lettuces. The heads are large; the leaves clear 
green, blistered and crumpled with frilled borders. 
For planting outdoors this is one of the very best 
sorts, as it withstands heat and drought and is a 
slow seeder. We recommend this variety. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 40c; Vs lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, post¬ 
paid. 
CRISP-AS-ICE—HARTFORD BRONZE HEAD. One 
of the best varieties for the home garden, an ex¬ 
cellent buttery sureheader of delicate flavor and 
tender quality. The compact heads are of medium 
size, dark green overlaid with bronze in color. 
In our trials this sort seems to withstand the 
drought better than any other. Slow to go to 
seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; V4 lb., 40c; % lb., 75c; 1 
lb., $1.35, postpaid. 
EARLY BLACK SEEDED TENNISBALL—SALA¬ 
MANDER. One of the most reliable, sure heading 
sorts. The heads are large, solid and of fine qual¬ 
ity. The outside leaves are a clear dull green, 
broad and crumpled. This is one of the surest 
heading sorts for the Northwest. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
13c; *4 lb., 45c; y 2 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.20', postpaid. 
ICEBERG. A large, crisp, cabbage-heading variety 
of good quality. The heads are firm and well 
blanched. The outer leaves are crumpled and 
blistered, in color a medium green with a faint 
brown tinge on the border. Pkt., 5c; oz„ 15c; 
Vi lb., 40c; y 2 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, postpaid.
