Culture: Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked. Space the 

 rows 1 ft. apart and cover the seed 14 in. deep with fine soil. Thin the plants to stand 

 6 to 8 in. apart in the row. To have fresh lettuce all season long, make succession sow- 

 ings every two weeks until June. For fall use, sow in August and September. For early 

 crops start seed in a cold frame or at a sunny window in February. Set out seedlings in 

 April. 



333 New York No. 12 



A Selection From The Original New York 



(60 days) This is a marked improvement over the older type. It makes very 

 large heads, 10 to 12 in. across, as solid as a cabbage and is of a dark green 

 color. Under favorable conditions the heads become crisp, juicy, and sweet. 

 This variety has proved to be well adapted for growing successfully along 

 the Atlantic coast and in the eastern portion of the United States gener- 

 ally. It is remarkable for its uniformity, sureness of heading, and attractive 

 appearance. The heart of the tightly folded head is a beautiful white, 

 quite free from bitterness. We do not recommend it for forcing purposes. White 

 seeded. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. 75c; V2 lb. SI. 15; lb. S2.00; 2 lbs. S3.70; 

 5 lbs. S9.00; 10 lbs. S17.00.

Heat Resisting, 



Sure Cropper, 



Reliable Header 



(60 days) A very popular va- 

 riety, sometimes called Iceberg, 

 but widely different from the 

 original Iceberg lettuce as of- 

 fered on page 35. New York has 

 been well described as "the king 

 of main-crop head lettuce." 

 The solid, compact heads often 

 measure nearly a foot across 

 and weigh heavily. It is a deep- 

 rooting variety, and as a main 

 summer crop, has no equal. We 

 do not recommend it for forc- 

 ing. It is.a splendid heat resister 

 wth rich dark green outer leaves 

 and a well blanched, tender, 

 crisp, and tasty heart. Also 

 known as Los .Angeles. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 20c; V4 lb. 60c; Vz lb. 90c; 

 lb. S1.60; 2 lbs. $2.95; 

 5 lbs. $7.05; 10 lbs. $12.80. 



328 Maule's Improved Hanson 



Withstands Extreme Weather Better Than Most 



(50 days) This lettuce excels all others with its fine table 

 qualities Entirely free from any bitter taste with a rich and 

 sweet flavor not only in the heart but also in the outer leaves. 

 It IS so tightlj folded that it is always well blanched in the in- 

 tenor, and very crisp and juicy. Its reliability 

 for sure heading is widely known and has given 

 It much of its deserved popularity. The heads 

 grow large and almost round. The outer leaves 

 are a bright green and the center is well 

 blanched. It has proven particularly valua- 

 ble for midsummer growing as it withstands 

 hot weather better than most other sorts. 

 Pkt 10c; oz. 20c; V4 lb. 50c; V2 lb. 75c; 

 lb S1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 5 lbs. $5.50;

 blanch to a beautiful rich buttery yellow. Has a fine firm heart of excellent quality 

 and sweet crisp flavor. Highly valued for sowing in frames early in the spring, or

 market growers' variety as it holds its color nicely and stays crisp and tender 

 longer than many others. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; V4 lb. 55c; V2 lb. 80c; lb. $1.40, 

 2 lbs. $2.55; 5 lbs. $5.15; 10 lbs. $11.29.
