Special Interest to Market Gardeners 
New York or Wonderful Lettuce 
THE KING OF ALL HEAD LETTUCE. 
The real test of any variety is what it does "in the 
hands of the market gardener and commercial grower. 
The man who depends on his crops for his. bread 
and butter is going to plant that variety which he 
knows will yield the best crops. The commercial 
grower cannot afford to take any chances on. the 
variety he plants. He must have the best. 
Thousands upon thousands of acres of New York 
or Wonderful Lettuce are planted each year by the 
large commercial growers in Colorado, California, 
and Texas. These growers know that this lettuce 
yields the biggest crops of the best quality both for 
home consumption and long distance shipping. Dur- 
ing the past two years the crop of New York or Won- 
der Lettuce Seed has been very, short and conse- 
quently the prices were high. Commercial growers 
have not hesitated to buy the seed at three and four 
times the price of other varieties. 
Immense, solid heads. Blanches beautifully. Crisp, 
tender and free from bitterness. 
The' heads are from 12 to 16 inches in diameter 
and weigh from to. 2% pounds. The inside leaves 
are beautifully blanched, creamy white, crisp,. tender 
and absolutely free from any taste of bitterness. 
It is a very vigorous grower, resists hot dry weather 
and is very slow to seed. 
,- We cannot recommend it too highly as the best 
main crop head lettuce. 
. The seed we offer is grown by the best growers 
in the country. The genuine New York or Wonderful 
forms such a solid head that the seed stalk is un- 
able to break through. Our seed is saved from only 
such heads which must be cut to let the seed stalk 
come out.

Pollock 10-25 Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. 
New York or Wonderful Lettuce, 
Salmon-Tinted 
Pollock 10-25 Strain Rocky Ford 
Cantaloupe 
Offered especially to the grower who wants a pure 
strain of high-bred, re-selected and hand cut Rocky 
Ford Cantaloupe. 
The commercial grower wants seed that will pro- 
duce melons of uniform size and shape (with a min- 
imum of small or pony fruits), with firm deep flesh, 
with a small seed cavity and a heavy netting over the 
entire surface. This is the kind of melon that brings 
the most money on the market and makes the highest 
yield per acre. 
The Pollock 10-25 meets the above mentioned re- 
quirements to perfection. It is not a new melon but 
a re-selection out of Pollock 25. The seed from one 
perfect hill of Pollock 25 was taken a few years ago 
and constantly re-selected to produce this wonder- 
fully pure strain of . Pollock 10-25. 
The melons from which this seed is saved are 
selected with extreme care. Perfect melons only are 
taken from the crowns of the most thrifty vines. 
The best of these are then selected for uniformity 
in size, shape and heavy netting. These selected 
melons are then hand cut and another selection is 
made from the cut melons for smallness of seed 
cavity. 
The result of this careful selection is the purest 
and most uniform type of melon on the market. 
The Pollock 10-25 is of the Pink Meated or Salmon 
Tinted Rocky Ford type but considerably larger than 
the standard Rocky Ford. The shape is slightly ob- 
long, it is heavily netted, has thick meat and conse- 
quently a very small seed cavity. The flavor is truly 
delicious. It is very rust resistant, very hardy and 
an excellent shipper. 
It is the ideal melon for either the home market 
or long distance shipping. The seed naturally costs 
more than the common kind but it would be worth 
the price if it cost several times as much as it does.
