ABCO LETTUCE 

ABCO Lettuce 
Here is a type of Lettuce that we have selected out of our special stock of White Big Boston. What 
we have done is select the smaller ones with a smooth, thick leaf. These we have noted, are rather 
rugged, will stand more sun, and mature about 5 days earlier, making one of the hardest heads we 
have ever seen in Lettuce. Coming out of the White Boston type, they do not show any redness in 
cool or even frosty weather. It is plenty large enough to pack two dozen im a standard Lettuce crate. 
We recommend this for early spring or fall use, under glass or outside. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 25 cts.; 14lb. 
75 cts.; Ib. $2.50; 10 Ibs. $22.50. 
NEW YORK or WONDERFUL No. 728 
Here’s another new development of recent years. One of the best points about this particular 
strain is its blight-resistant qualities. A slow grower, making heavy, firm heads that remain in good 
condition several weeks. Outer leaves dark green, inner blanch pure white. This is an extra-selected 
strain of New York or Wonderful and has always given fine results. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 14lb. 75 cts. 
Ib. $2.75; 10 Ibs. $25. 
ABBOTT & COBB’S SPECIAL 
BIG BOSTON 
We have gone to great trouble and expense to pro- 
duce the very best strain of this desirable variety. 
By careful test it has proved the best out of thirty 
different strains. The leaves are thick and dark green 
producing very solid white heads. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
15 cts.; 14lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $16.50. 
PROGRESS 
An entirely new strain of Great Lakes offered for 
the first time. It is lighter colored than Pennlake, 
has large frame, and is resistant to tip burn. This 
stock was made by the United States Department 
of Agriculture at Beltsville, Maryland, and the New 
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It is an out- 
standing type maturing five days earlier than Great 
Lakes and forms a good solid head. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 
80 cts.; 14lb. $3.00; lb. $10.00.

recently developed in California and adapted to 
New York, New England, and eastern soil and 
climate. Resembles other Iceberg types. Stands 
heat well. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 30 cts.; W4lb. $1; 
Ib. $3.40; 10 lbs. $33. 
IMPERIAL NO. 44. This is a type of Iceberg 
Lettuce developed by Cornell University that 
seems to be very adaptable to the eastern cli- 
mate and soil. Our stock is true and develops 
large, very solid heads, somewhat free from 
blight. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 30 cts.; 14lb. $1; lb. $3.40;
