the leading shipping varieties. It produces large solid heads; crisp and 
tender. Unquestionably the finest head lettuce for the home garden. It is

without it. 
NEW YORK, Los Angeles or WONDERFUL 
The Largést Header 
8@ days. This popular head lettuce furnishes fine, crisp lettuce during 
the hot summer months, The largest variety grown, often producing heads 
weighing 2 to 3 pounds each, nearly as solid as a cabbage, and inside 
leaves blanehed to beautiful creamy-white. Stands shipping well and re- 
mains in good condition longer than other sorts. 
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE —> 
Paris White. 65 days. The earliest and best 
of the Cos type lettuce. The plants are of erect 
growth, forming elongated heads of crisp leaves. 
It does not need tying in order to blanch the 
heart, but larger, firmer heads may be had by 
tying. The outer leaves are medium green and 
the inner leaves bleach to snowy white. Always 
sweet and tender and does not become bitter dur- 
ing hot weather. The young leaves may be eaten 
as leaf lettuce. 
[CEBERG—Crisphead Type 
82 days. An easily grown lettuce of the crisp- 
head type; no other variety surpasses it in qual- 
ity. The heads are of medium size, firm and 
hard, exceedingly crisp, juicy, sweet and tender, 
with heart leaves blanched to almost white. 
BIG BOSTON—"Butter-Heading" Type 
75 days. A sure-heading, long-standing variety of superb texture, color 
and flavor for forcing and home garden. Known as a ‘‘butter- heading”’ 
variety because of smooth delicate leaves and the creamy-yellow heart. 
CHICKEN OR 
RABBIT LETTUCE 
Feed All Spring and Summer 
The best green feed for chickens 
and rabbits. In this variety you will 
find a feed that yields as much or 
more than other green feeds. It is 
economical to grow, for when cut it 
resumes its growth rapidly and can 
be cut again and again; or the leaves 
can be pulled off each stem like the 
Jersey Kale. The yield is extremely 
heavy. Chicken or Rabbit Lettuce is 
too coarse for a table variety. Grows 
3 to 4 feet high and just loaded with 
large leaves. Large enough to com- 
mence feeding in 40 to 45 days.
