 outer leaves. Heads are large, quite broad, slightly flattened, the outer leaves being bright 

 green. Its reliability for sure heading, even during midsummer, is widely known and has given

345 New York or Wonderful — Crisp-head (75 days 



Heat resistant, sure cropper, reliable header 



A widely used lettuce, commonly called Iceberg or Los Angeles by growers and shippers on the Pacific 

 Coast. It is, however, widely different from the original Iceberg offered on this page. New York or 

 Wonderful has been well described as " the king of main-crop head lettuces." The solid, compact heads, 

 well grown in rich soil, often measure nearly 1 ft, across and weigh heavily; outer leaves are deep green, 

 heart blanches to a beautiful pure white, tasty, crisp and of delicious flavor. Plants are deep rooting 

 so are quite resistant to heat; does best in spring and fall, but for main summer crop it has no equal. 

 We do not recommend it for forcing. Valuable for home or market gardener. 



Pkt. 10^; oz. 20fi; 1/4 lb. 60^; V2 lb. 85^; lb. $1.50; 2 lbs. $2.75; 5 lbs. $6.60. 



333 New York 12— Crisp-head (75 days)^; 



An improved selection from the original New York or Wonderful 



When properly grown on rich soil, heads grow very large, 10 to 12 in. across, almost round and 

 as solid as a cabbage. Leaves are dark green, the outer ones notched and slightly curled on 

 the edges; the inner leaves are tightly folded, well blanched to a beautiful silvery white, crisp, 

 sweet and tender. Has proved to be well adapted for successful growing in almost any locality 

 in early spring or late summer and fall. We do not, however, recommend it for forcing. It is 

 remarkable for its uniformity, sureness of heading, and attractive appearance. Popular for 

 home and market.

Very popular crisp-head, tender lettuce for the home garden 



The original Iceberg as offered here makes large, handsome heads of light green curled leaves

329 New York 515— Crisp-head (72 days)i}* 



The earliest heading lettuce of the New York type 



A little earlier than New York 12, which it resembles in general appearance. The large heads 

 are solid, bright green in color, bleach to a beautiful white; always crisp, juicy and sweet. 

 New York 515 has been bred for resistance to tipburn and will stand hot weather better than 

 others of the New York type. It also makes wonderful heads in the fall from late summer 

 sowings. Should you have had difficulty in raising head lettuce in your garden we would 



suggest trying this new, 



sure heading strain of New 



York, or commonly called 



"Iceberg," by shippers.
