Lettuce 
We take great pains in having Lettuce Seed pure and 
all plants showing a difference are taken out. We be; 
lieve that market gardeners will make no mistake iii 
giving our seed a trial. It is fresh and ready to start 
like all of our “Guaranteed Seeds.” 
Prices on all varieties of Lettuce: 1/3 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 
10c; M lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
Biff Boston, Selected Stock. With gardeners who ship 
north, many of whom plant our seeds exclusively, this is 
the most popular; the best early, large heading sort, a 
valuable first early. Plants are vigorous, mature heads of 
bright green leaves which are very tender. 
Black Seeded Simpson. This is not a Head Lettuce, but 
spreads a mass of curled leaves around over the ground. 
It is excellent and a favorite with many. 
Early Prizehead. This old standard variety is still the best 
of the large, thin-leaved, clustering sorts for the home 
garden, but is not a good kind to ship a long distance as 
the leaves are so tender they are easily spoiled in handling: 
The leaves are very crimped, bright green tinged with brown¬ 
ish red and are exceedingly tender, crisp and sweet, forming 
a large loose head. 
New York 
Grand Rapids, Ashtabula Strain. This strain of Lettuce has been famous in 
all the leading cities for its crisp appearance after its long shipments; rapid 
growth in greenhouse or hotbed makes it the highest sought after by all growers 
of Lettuce. Our strain is 99 per cent pure and is being used by leading green¬ 
house men. 
Hanson. Probably the largest variety in cultivation, a rapid grower, crisp and 
tender. Stands a long season without becoming tough. 
Iceberg". Very solid, compact heads. Fine flavor and crisis one of the best headed 
varieties. From what we have seen of this we believe there is none better. 
May King". One of the first to mature for the table and a good one. 
New York. Crisp and dark green. One of the earliest sorts, ranks better than Big 
Boston. This Lettuce is one of the very best to grow for home gardens. A new 
sort, but we are offering it in limited amount. 
Simpson Early Curled. Does not head, but forms a compact mass of curly leaves 
of yellowish green color. It matures early, generally grown in cold frame and as 
an outside crop. 
Mixed Lettuce Seed. So as to give variety. _ , „ ., _
