Henderson's Famous New 

 York and Imperial Types 



NEW YORK (HENDERSONS') 



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.

Imperial No. 847 



Standard Heading Varieties 



SPECIAL WHITE BOSTON (UNRIVALED). This is a white strain 

 of the popular Big Boston. The outer foliage is bright green, and 

 does not have the red or bronze tinge that is characteristic of Big 

 Boston. It is, however, similar in size and shape of head, but the 

 frame of the plant is a trifle smaller and matures a little earlier. 

 The heads are solid, attractive, and unsurpassed in quality.

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.
