Henderson's Famous New 

 York and Imperial Types 



NEW YORK 



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

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

 OS popular today since the introduction of the earlier Nev/ York 

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

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

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

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

 is noted for its uniformity and large sized heads.

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 a few days earlier and 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.

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 test 

 plantings of Imperial No. 44 were made in various lettuce grow- 

 ing muck districts of the East. The variety looked so promising 

 in these tests, that lettuce growers throughout the muck sections 

 are very enthusiastic about the possibilities of this new variety. 

 Although not extensively tried on upland soils, we believe it will 

 be suitable there as well. Imperial No. 44 produces large, hard, 

 well formed heads, uniform in size. In comparative test plant- 

 ings, it has produced a good percentage of hard heads when 

 nearby plantings of commercial strains proved worthless.

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.

Imperial No. 847 



GREAT LAKES 



This new variety was developed by the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture and Michigan State College Experiment Station. 

 It is a crisphead or Iceberg type, and in many respects similar 

 to Imperial No. 456. 



During the season of 1 943, Great Lakes was tested out in trial 

 plantings in many sections, and in these trials the variety was 

 outstanding. It has also been tested in a few commercial plant- 

 ings with equally good results. 



Like Imperial No. 456, Great Lakes stands heat well, is slow to 

 produce seed stalks, and to date has proven to be very resistant 

 to tip burn. The heads are medium large, exceptionally solid, 

 and of fine quality.

IMPERIAL NO. 456 



This new Iceberg type has been used the past two years in the 

 muck sections of upper New York State with excellent results. 

 The variety during this period has proven to be much better 

 suited to midsummer growing conditions than Imperial No. 44, 

 which up to the present time has been the best of the Iceberg 

 types for muck sections of the East. 



Imperial No. 456 withstands summer heat well, and has shown 

 a decided tendency to being resistant to tip-burn. It is also 

 slow to run to seed. In size, the plants and heads are somewhat 

 smaller than Imperial No. 44. In our Lettuce trials last summer 

 this new variety was outstanding.
