BIG BOSTON, SELECTED STOCK. With gardeners who ship north, 
many of whom plant our seeds exclusively, this is most popular; the 
best early, large heading sort, a valuable first early. Plants are vig- 
orous, 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. 7 
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 brownish red, and are exceedingly tender, 
crisp and sweet, forming a large loose head. 
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 greenhouse men. 
ICEBERG. 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. 
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 in a 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 frames and as an outside crop. 
MIXED LETTUCE SEED. So as to give variety.

HOLLOW CROWN (Long Smooth). Long, sweet, 
excellent quality, very productive. 
IMPROVED GUERNSEY. Fine grained, well fla- 
vored. Thicker than above, easier harvested. 
NEW INTERMEDIATE. This new sort does not 
require the depth of soil necessary for the older 
varieties. Although equal in quality and flavor 
to the old sort, the roots of this variety are 
one-half to two-thirds as long. On heavy or 
clay soil is especially valuable. During years 
of drought the Intermediate, of all varieties, 
yielded the heaviest, made the best looking 
roots and was the easiest to harvest.
