Lettuce 
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 Lettuce: 14 0z., 10c; 1 02; 25¢5 
¥% Ib., 75c; 1 1hb., $2.50. 
BIG BOSTON, SELECTED STOCK. With gar- 
deners who ship north, many of whom plant 
our seeds exclusively, this is most pop- 
ular; the best early, large heading sort, @ 
valuable first early. Plants are vigorous, ma- 
ture 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 excel- 
lent and a favorite with many. 
EARLY PRIZEHEAD. This old standard vari- 
ety 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 vari- 
eties. 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, gen- 
erally grown in cold frames and as an out- 
side crop. 
MIXED LETTUCE SEED. So as to give va- 
riety.

HOLLOW CROWN (Long Smooth). Long, 
sweet, excellent quality, very productive. 
IMPROVED GUERNSEY. Fine grained, well 
aad sr Thicker than above, easier har- 
vested. 
NEW INTERMEDIATE. This new sort does 
not require the depth of soil necessary for 
the older varieties. Although equal in qual- 
ity 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 year of drought the Intermediate, of 
all varieties, yielded the heaviest, made the 
best looking roots and was the easiest to 
harvest.
