Henderson's Famous New 

 York and Imperial Types 





Progress 



IMPERIAL NO. 847 



This new black seeded New York type has proven very satis- 

 factory in many sections of the East. It is particularly well suited 

 to upland soil. We have seen several commercial plantings 

 that were so even in maturity that the entire crop was ready 

 for cutting at one time. Plants medium large, with bright green 

 leaves. Heads round, large, solid, crisp and of good quality. 

 Season 83 days. oz. Va lb. lb. 10 lbs.

GREAT LAKES 



This variety has now become the leading Imperial or Iceberg 

 type for commercial growing. It is a sure-heading variety that 

 produces firm well-shaped heads under summer growing condi- 

 ditions. It is slow bolting, and resistant to tip burn. The heads 

 are of good size and of attractive rich green color. They are 

 well protected by the crisp, thick outer leaves. It has proven to 

 be well adapted to upland soils. Season 80 days.

IMPERIAL (Cornell) No. 456 



This variety is an excellent selection of the Imperial type 

 developed by the United States Department of Agriculture and 

 the Cornell Experiment Station. Grown on muck soils it has 

 proved to be very sure heading even in summer heat and under 

 other adverse weather conditions. The attractive solid heads are 

 slightly smaller than Great Lakes. This variety is slow to pro- 

 duce seed stalks, and decidely resistant to tip burn. Season 80 



days.

PROGRESS 



Darker green, thicker leaved, more resistant to tip burn, and 

 a few days earlier than Imperial No. 44. The Bureau of Plant 

 Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland, 

 and the New Jersey Agricultural Experimental Station have 

 had this variety under trial for several seasons. For the past 

 three seasons it has been on trial in several locations in the 

 Eastern states, and it appears to be well-adapted as an early- 

 maturing, tip burn resistant lettuce.

NEW YORK 



We introduced this noted variety many years ago. It has been 

 extensively grown in all sections of the country, and although not 

 as popular today since the introduction of the earlier New York 

 types, is still used in large quantities in many localities. The 

 plants are large, with dark green outer leaves, which are slightly 

 curled on the edges. The heads are large, very solid, well 

 blanched, crisp, sweet, and are slow to run to seed. Our strain 

 is noted for its uniformity and large sized heads. Season 80

NEW YORK NO. 12 



This is an earlier selection from Henderson's New York. It is 

 very sure heading and better adapted to warm weather than the 

 original type. The plants are compact with few outer leaves, and 

 head with great uniformity. The heads are slightly flattened, 

 solid, and of a large even size. The most dependable of the 

 New York types, especially under varied growing conditions.

NEW YORK NO. 515 



An early type of New York which in appearance resembles New 

 York No. 12, but is brighter green in color. The heads are 

 well formed, solid and very attractive. It is also dependable in 

 heading and well adapted to a wide range of soil and growing 

 conditions. Highly recommended. Season 80 days.

John Lodaz surveys a field of Great Lakes lettuce grown by him and his father, 

 Steve Lodaz, Hicksville, Long Island. They say, about Great Lakes lettuce: 

 ". . . proved to be the best and most profitable variety of lettuce we have 

 ever grown during our many years of vegetable growing experience . . . it 

 lias withstood unfavorable weather conditions very well." 



IMPERIAL NO. 44 



This new Iceberg type was developed by Dr. I, C. Jagger of the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture. During 1936 and 1937 suc- 

 cessful test plantings of Imperial No. 44 were made in lettuce 

 growing muck districts of the East. It is now an established 

 variety for muck sections. Although not extensively tried on 

 upland soils, we believe it will be suitable there as well. Im- 

 perial No. 44 produces large, hard, well formed heads, uniform 

 in size. In comparative test plantings, it has produced a good 

 percentage of hard heads when nearby plantings of commercial 

 strains proved worthless. Season 82 days.
