SON. One of the old, most 
reliable, and _ productive 
loose-leaf varieties. The 
nearly white, very large, 
thin, curly, very tender 
leaves are of very good 
quality, remaining in fine 
condition for some time.

DARK COS. In this Cos we 
are offering something new. 
We have developed it with 
the idea in mind that it 
would withstand heat and 
bad weather conditions. Our experiments 
have proved it to be far superior in this 
respect. The leaves are dark green with a 
) self-folding head. Height is about 15 
inches. We believe this to be a very 
valuable commercial type, and will gladly 
furnish a liberal sample of seed to those 
who have not already tried it. Pkt. 10 cts.;

ROMAINE or COS. This is the largest 
variety of green Cos Lettuce that grows. It has an upright, quick-growing habit, and a solid, very crisp 
head of fine flavor that bleaches as it grows. It is not so apt to blast as some of the light-colored strains, 
therefore more sure to make a crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 15 cts.; 4lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $16.50. 


White Big Boston (Special) Lettuce 
For several years we have been producing and selling an exceptionally fine strain of white Big Boston. 
We developed the stock ourselves, making sure that the frame and head were large enough. It resembles 
Big Boston in appearance. The leaves are a trifle smoother than most varieties of Big Boston, and do not 
turn red in cool or cold weather. The head and frame are just as Iarge as any Big Boston; the stock is true. 
The fact that it does not turn red in cool weather makes it a most valuable shipper, for it often brings a 
premium over the Big Boston type. We recommend it highly for growing under coldframes, first planting 
or drilling in the spring and for all fall plantings.
