Quality the best. PRIZE HEAD.—One of the flnest varie-ties ever introduced, forming a very largehead, but not a solid one; the leaves areslightly tinged with brown, and is remark-able for its crispness and delicacy offlavor; is well adapted for either forcingor outdoor culture. CAIilFORNIA.—Very large; solid heads; inside very Big* Boston. BIG BOSTON.—Our strain of this verypopular variety is unsurpassed. Thousandsof acres of Big Boston Lettuce are grownannually in the South. Plants are largeand vigorous, leaves light green, slightlytinged with reddish brown; stands verylong before shooting to seed. Can begrown in the open ground, in the springor fall, or in frames for early spring plant-ing, does particularly well in cold weatherand is especially recommended for fallplanting in the South. Is very popularwith gardeners and truckers, because it al-ways produces large, solid, salable heads;and with private growers because it headsup at all seasons of the year and is ofcrisp tender quality. The Quantity is Remembered Long After the Price is Forgotten. GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 45
