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 in a standard Lettuce crate. 
We recommend this for early spring or fall use, under glass or outside. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 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. 15 cts.; 0z. 25 cts.; 14lb. 75 cts. 
Ib. $2.75; 10 Ibs. $25.
