333 New York No. 12 

 (75 days) 4t 



An improved Selection From 

 the Original New York or 

 Wonderlul 



When properly grown on rich soil, 

 heads grow very large, 10 to 12 in, 

 across, almost round and as sol- 

 id 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, recom- 

 mend it for forcing. It is remark- 

 able for its uniformity, sureness 

 of heading, and attractive ap- 

 pearance. Popular lor home and 

 market.

328 Maule's Improved Hanson (65 days) ^ 



Withstands Extreme Weather Better Than Most Head Lettuces 



One of the earliest of the crisp head lettuces. Entirely free from any bitter taste; is always crisp, 

 tender and of a sweet flavor, not only in the well-blanched white heart but also in the 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 it much 

 of its deserved popularity. A wonderful home garden variety which is sure to prove satisfactory.

345 New York or Wonderful (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 a foot 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.

329 New York No. 515 (72 days) •3^ 



The Earliest Heading Lettuce of the New York or Wonderful Type 



New York No. 515 is a little earlier than New York No. 12 which it resembles in general appear- 

 ance. The large heads are solid, bright green in color, bleach to a beautiful white; always crisp, 

 juicy and sweet. New York No. 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.

Distinct Type, Crisp, Tender and Sweet 



Sometimes called Celery Lettuce because of its upright growth, the long, tender light 

 green leaves enclosing a well-blanched, elongated heart. This Cos Lettuce Is self-closing 

 so that it does not need tying up in order to blanch the center leaves or heart which 

 have a refreshing, snappy flavor. It will stand more hot summer weather than other

Poultry and Rabbits Eat It Greedily 



This Lettuce will yield more food for your poultry or rabbits than any other plant you 

 could sow for "greens." It is ready to cut in about 40 days after sowing, and after cutting, 

 the stumps will start out again to make new shoots so that in a short while you 

 will have another crop ready for feeding. If not cut, plants will grow 4 ft. tall __^^
