LETTUCE 
Can be planted almost any time of the year. Give head varieties plenty of room, at least 15 inches 
apart each way. Cover one-half inch deep. Referring to head lettuce, it is generally agreed among large 
growers that aging of the seed produces earlier and firmer heads besides making them more sure heading.

NEW YORK (See strains listed below)—This var¬ 
iety is the most popular lettuce in America. It makes 
large, solid heads and bleaches very white and brit¬ 
tle. During the summer months this lettuce is ship¬ 
ped East from Oregon and Washington and, in the 
winter, it is shipped to our Northern markets from 
California. We have a very large trade with mar¬ 
ket gardeners and sell New York seed to plant 
thousands of acres each year. Do not gamble with 
your crop by buying cheap lettuce seed. Intensive 
selection has resulted in several strains of New 
York, three of which we list below. 
NEW YORK, ROUND FLAT—This strain grows 
to medium large size, matures quite early, is very 
sure heading and is round flat in shape. The foli¬ 
age is medium dark green. This is a great favorite 
with shippers, the shape and size being ideal for 
crating. Many prefer it for all their crops but 
everyone likes it for the first spring cutting. It has 
also proven very valuable for fall cutting. 
NEW YORK, TALL—This strain grows to large 
size, rather tall in shape. It is usually 10 to 14 
days later than the Round Flat type and will stand 
longer without bolting to seed. It is very dark 
green and the foliage is slightly more curled. Some 
call it the umbrella type, on account of the loose 
leaves curling over the top of the head. It is 
especially valuable for local markets. 
NEW, YORK NO. 12—A large, early type with 
round flat heads. It is exceptionally sure heading 
and the most valuable strain for summer cutting, 
as it is more resistant to slime or sun scalding. 
Very popular with growers. Originator’s seed.

types 1 YEAR SEED. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 50;
