Big Boston 
LetEuce 
We take great pains in having Lettuce Seed pure and 
all plants showing a difference are taken out. We believe 
that market gardeners will make no mistake in 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; 
Ib., 30c; 1 Ib., ^1.00. 
BIG BOSTON, SBIiBCTBD 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. 
BZiACK SBBDBD 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. 
BABIiY FRIZBHBAD. 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 brownish 
red, and are exceedingly tender, crisp and sweet, forming a 
large loose head. 
GRAND RAPIDS, ASHTABUDA STRAIN. This strain of 
Lettuce has been famous in all the leading cities for its crisp 
appearance after its long shipments; rapid growth in green¬ 
house 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 greenhouse men. 
HANSON. Probably the largest variety in cultivation, a rapid 
grower, crisp and tender. Stands a long season without becom¬ 
ing tough. 
ICHBBRG. Very solid, compact heads. Fine flavor and crisp, one 
of the best headed varieties. From what we have seen of this 
we believe there is none better. 
MAV 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 of¬ 
fering in a limited amount. 
SIMPSON EARDY CURDED. Does not head, but forms a 
compact mass of curly leaves of yellowish green color. It ma¬ 
tures early, generally grown in cold frames and as an outside 
crop. 
MIXED DETTUCE SEED. So as to give variety.
