Maulers Delicious Lettuce 



Culture! Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked, in rows 

 1 to 1J4 ft. apart; cover seed H in. deep. Thin plants of loose leaf varieties to stand 4 

 to 6 in. apart in the row and as they get large, use every other one. Thin heading type 

 Lettuce to stand 1 ft. apart. For very early Lettuce, seed may be sown in a coldframe or 

 in a box in a sunny window in February, and the seedlings set out in April. Lettuce grows 

 best during the cool seasons of the year. Successional sowings should be made every two 

 weeks from early spring until June for a continuous supply during spring and early summer, 

 sowings made in August and September will provide Lettuce during the fall. A packet 

 will sow about 30 ft. of row; an oz. about 300 ft.; use 4 to 5 lbs. for an acre.

 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

 leaves blanch to an appetizing rich buttery yellow. Heart is firm, creamy white, of excellent quality 

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

 garden for an early or fall crop. As it holds its color nicely and stays crisp and tender longer than

329 New York No. 515 (72 days) >3^ 



The Earliest Heading Lettuce of the New York or Wonderful Type 



Xew Vork No. SIS is a little earlier than New York No. 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 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 won- 

 derful 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" bv shippers.

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 at 

 top of 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 re- 

 sistant 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. 10c; oz. 20c; V4 lb. SOc; Vz lb. SOc: lb, $1.35; 2 lbs. $2,50; 5 lbs. $5.95.
