BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
One of the best for sowing outdoors where an exceedingly tender leaf is de- 
sired and for those markets which demand a very large, loose clustering sort 
of a light yellowish green color. Leaves ruffled and blistered and even the 
large outer ones are very tender. Uniformly attractive and remains of excel- 
lent quality a very long time. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 4 Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.10 
Cos or Romaine 
Frequently called celery lettuce on account of its erect habit of growth. 
Plants are large, about 8 or 9 inches tall and should be thinned to about 8 
inches apart in the rows so that each one will have plenty of room. The outer 
leaves are medium light green, the interior whitish green. As a salad variety 
for the home garden, it has no superior.
