HENDERSON'S FAMOUS 

 NEW YORK and IMPERIAL TYPES 



NEW YORK (HENDERSON'S) also called WON- 

 DERFUL ond CALIFORNIA ICEBERG. 



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.

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 (NEW). 



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

 U. S. Department of Agriculture. During 1936 and 1937 test 

 plantings of Imperial No. 44 were made in various lettuce growing 

 muck districts of the East. The variety looked so promising in these 

 tests, that a commercial crop of seed is being produced this year 

 for the first time. Although not extensively tried on upland soils, 

 we believe it will be suitable there as well. Imperial No. 44 pro- 

 duces large, hard, well formed heads, uniform in size. In compara- 

 tive test plantings, it has produced a good percentage of hard 

 heads when nearby plantings of commercial strains proved worthless.

IMPERIAL NO. 847. 



(New). This new black seeded New York 

 type has proven very satisfactory 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.
