LETTUCE 
HEADING VARIETIES 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet. 
CULTURE. Sow in seed bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked and at intervals 
thereafter. When plants have made 2 or 3 leaves, transplant into rows, 15 inches apart and 1 foot 
apart in the row. For early forcing, sow in hot-bed from commencement to middle of winter. Let- 
tuce requires very rich, moist soil, and will do better when transplanted. For general crop, sow 
out doors as early in the spring as ground can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin to 10 
inches apart in the rows. 
Big Boston 76 Days 
Especially valuable for summer and fall use outdoors and for forcing. In the 
eastern states is largely grown on muck ground for shipping to the large cities. 
Leaves comparatively smooth, glossy and crisp; color light green, sometimes 
tinged brown on the edges. Forms a well folded head, buttery vellow at the 
heart and of excellent quality. 
WHITE BOSTON —Special Strain 75 Days 
We have given this name to our new white Boston selection to distinguish 
its superior quality and type from the regular White Boston popular several 
years back. Plant and head entirely light green, smooth leaves and straight 
edges. Heart buttery vellow. This strain the best in existence.
