New York (Stokes) 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 in 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 Very finest strains of lettuce which is known on the produce markets 

 as Iceberg, you cannot do better than to order New York (Stokes).

We consider this to be the most satisfactory type of Romaine available. Some of our customers plant it over large areas. We offer 

 this stock as a uniform type of Cos Lettuce which will give satisfaction under all general conditions. It will form compact, well-blanched, 

 firm heads, round at the tap. The outside color is a rich dark-green and the inside a beautifully blanched golden-white. It is crisp and 

 sweet. This type of Cos is less likely to blast than some of the lighter colored ones.

Note on Lettuce Germination in the South 



Southern growers of lettuce have difficulty during hot weather in securing good germination of seed either in seed bed or field 

 and a practice commonly followed in Florida and recommended to our Southern growers is to soak the seed in pans of water for 

 15 or 20 minutes. Drain' off the excess moisture and place these pans in the refrigerator. In 36 to 48 hours, depending on 

 the variety, the seed should have small sprouts. The seed may then be dried just enough to handle for seed bed planting or may 

 be fixed with dry sand to take up the excess moisture. 



Nearly 20,000 carloads of New York Lettuce were shipped in 1927 . 



The consumption of green vegetables has increased four times as fast as our population in recent years. Lettuce has led 

 the grand procession, with the railroads and the insurance companies applauding.
