Withstands Extreme Weather Better Than Most 



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 tightly folded that it is always well blanched in the 

 interior, and very crisp and juicy. Its reliability for sure heading is widely 

 known and has given it much of its deser\-ed popularity. The heads grow- 

 large and almost round. The outer leaves are a bright green and the center is 

 well blanched. It has proved particularly valuable for midsummer growing 

 as it withstands hot weather better than most other sorts.

333 New York No. 12 (75 days) ^ 



A Selection From the Original New York 



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 generally. It is remark- 

 able 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. 



Pkt. 10c ; oz. 20c ; 1/4 lb. 55c ; 1/2 lb. SOc ; lb. $1.40 ; 2 lbs. $2.55 ; 5 lbs. $6.15.

340 Burpee's Earliest Wayahead (60 days) 



The Earliest Head Lettuce, Sweet and Crisp 



A splendid lettuce with attractive, tightly folded heads. The inner leaves 

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

 quality and sweet crisp flavor. Highly valued for sowing in frames early in 

 the spring, or for growing in the garden for an early crop. Its attractiveness 

 makes it a good market growers' variety as it holds its color nicely and stays 

 crisp and tender longer than many others. 



Pkt. 10c ; oz. 15c ; V4 lb. 45c ; 1/2 lb. 70c ; lb. $1.20 ; 2 lbs. $2.20 ; 5 lbs. $5.30. 



345 New York or Wonderful (75 days) 



Heat Resisting, Sure Cropper, Reliable Header 



Very popular variety, sometimes called Iceberg, but widely different from the 

 original Iceberg lettuce as offered above. 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 forcing. It is a 

 splendid heat resister with rich dark green outer leaves and a well blanched, 

 tender, crisp, and tasty heart. Also known as Los Angeles. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. SOc; 1/2 lb. 75c; lb. $1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 5 lbs. $5.50.
