STOKES SEEDS 



NEW YORK 



Days to maturity, 80-90. The strain we offer is the true New York. The largest 

 growers can place entire dependence on this stock. It is as uniformly pure as anything 

 we offer and furthermore has the added advantage of developing an enfolding leaf 

 over the top of the head which adds greatly to its shipping qualities. Any Lettuce 

 grower who desires to make a trial planting of this stock will be sent a substantial 

 planting sample without charge. It will take but one trial to convince anyone that 

 this is a very superior stock. It has proven so in all of the Lettuce growing districts 

 of California, Arizona and the Rocky Mountain States as well as in the various districts 

 in the Eastern States where it is finding an increasing acreage every year. If you 

 want one of the finest strains of New York Lettuce now known you cannot do better 

 than to order this one. 



ICEBERG 



Days to maturity, 75-80. A variety of European origin, introduced into this 

 country under the name of Iceberg by Burpee in 1894. Apparently, it is a selection 

 of the dark-green type of Marblehead Mammoth and India Head, the latter being a 

 very old sort. Except that it is smaller and lighter in color, it is very much like Hanson. 

 It is a very crisp variety, loose cabbage heading, late and very slow to shoot to seed. 

 The head is extremely hard and well blanched, the leaves very completely and tightly 

 overlapping each other. The color is light green, exceptingjor the faint brown tinge 

 along the extreme border. It is never spotted and the inner head leaves never colored. 

 The quality is good, crisp and firm, very sweet but not buttery in flavor. Iceberg 

 will hold twenty-one days before shooting to seed. Seeds large and white.
