CABBAGE OR HEADING 
VARIETIES 
BIG BOSTON (Trocadero), 76 Days 
—If enormous size heads, 10 to 12 
inches across, with a tightly folded heart 
of blanched, juicy, buttery leaves are 
desired, select Big Boston. Is extensive- 
ly used by gardeners and shippers every- 
where. | 
DENVER MARKET—The well known 
standard crisp head, medium-sized type, 
bearing light green leaves, very much 
crumpled. The young heads are pointed 
bu grow more nearly round when ma- 
ure. 
HANSON, 82 Days—None more reliable 
for outdoor cultivation. Heads grow to a re- 
markable size, resembling that of a flat cab- 
bage. Outer leaves are bright green and beau- 
tifully frilled on the edges; inner leaves white 
and deliciously sweet, tender and crisp. 
ICEBERG, 82 Days—Fine for home gar- 
dens but not so good for shipping on account 
of its tender head and thin leaves. Grows 
very large head somewhat crumpled, white 
inside, very sweet and crisp. 
NEW YORK or’ WONDERFUL — This 
splendid mammoth-heading and long-keeping 
variety has been grown to weigh six pounds 
to the head; frequently weighs two to three 
pounds. Heart is solid, of light green color, 
very sweet, tender and crisp. Long-standing; 
perfect heads may be cut from the same bed 
for many weeks. This lettuce is grown in large 
quantities on the Pacific Coast and shipped 
all over the country. It is wrongly called Ice- 
berg by produce dealers, which variety is dif- 
ferent and listed above. Can also supply 
other strains of New York as No. 12, and the 
different Imperial strains of the New York 
type for market gardener trade.

CURLED OR LOOSE-LEAVED 
VARIETIES 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON — A standard 
variety for forcing and early outdoor culture. 
It forms large, loose clusters of leaves of light 
yellowish green color; the leaves are large, 
thin, very tender, slightly ruffled and blis- 
tered; the inner ones nicely blanched, and 
even the large outside leaves are tender and 
of good quality. 
EARLY CURLED SIMPSON or SILESIA— 
Is widely known and an old-time favorite 
variety, the most popular loose leaved sort. 
Heads are a handsome green. 
EARLY PRIZE HEAD—tThe plants are me- 
dium large, and are composed of many curly 
leaves. The foliage is bright green, shaded 
with light brown. This is one of the best home 
garden varieties, as it grows quickly and 
makes a lot of good eating leaves which are of 
remarkably good flavor. It is strictly non- 
heading and of excellent flavor. 
GRAND RAPIDS—As a lettuce for home 
gardens, greenhouse forcing this variety un- 
doubtedly stands at the head of the list, being 
of quick growth, hardy, little liable to rot and 
remaining in condition several days after be- 
ing fit to cut. The plant is upright and forms 
a loose cluster of large, thin, bright green 
leaves, savoyed, finely crimped at edges. The
