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 ts 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. 15 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $16.50. 
TRIANON 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. 15 cts.; 0z. 15 cts.; Wlb. 
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 large 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 Bos- 
ton type. We recommend it highly for growing 
under coldframes, first planting or drilling in the 
spring and for all fall plantings. 
Pkt. 15 cts.; 0z. 35 cts.; 14lb. $1; Ib. $3.40; 
10 lbs. $32.50

enough to fill to capacity the 
two-dozen-size crate as illustrat- 
ede) Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 60 cts.;
