Schell’s Iceberg Lettuce 
- everybody should 
A very valuable Head Lettuce 
grow it. 
This variety is one of the grandest of all the Head 
Lettuces. It is grown in tremendous quantities in 
every part of the country, from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific. In California it is known as "Imperial Valley 
Iceberg”; in Colorado it is called “Mountain Ice¬ 
berg.” Thousands of carloads of Iceberg are 
shipped from various parts of the country every 
season. It forms a large, solid head, dark 
green and slightly curled on the edges; the 
illustration shows a perfect head; the center 
or inside of the head is a rich golden color. 
Schell’s Iceberg is distinct from any other 
variety and is, without question, one of the 
five most popular and most extensively grown 
Head Lettuces in America today. By all 
means grow it for market or for your own 
use. I recommend it highly. Pkt. io cts.; 3 
pkts. 25 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; Vilb. $1; lb. $3; 
5 lbs. $13.75. 
Mew York Lettuce 
New York Lettuce No. 41, Schell’s Strain. 
Bred along pure-line development for a pro¬ 
tected head, by which we mean it has covering 
leaves which protect the head from sun- or fog- 
burn. The shape is more or less conical until the 
head enlarges, which spreads the point of the 
cone and develops a firm, globular head. Leaves 
are dark green and quite savoyed. Excellent for 
both spring and fall crops, and on good land will 
produce a very high percentage of perfect heads— 
a larger percentage of marketable heads for the _ . ,,, _ . . 
first cutting than other strains. Schell s Iceberg Lettuce 
New York Lettuce No. 6084, Schell’s Strain. An early strain which has proved very desirable here in our eastern states. It is 
globular, fairly well covered with wrapper leaves, and it is distinctly early. Leaves very dark green, savoyed. 
New York Lettuce No. 12, Schell’s Strain. A very desirable strain for summer culture. It is lighter in color, a little more 
curly on the edges, and forms very solid, bald heads. The heads are usually soft when viewed in the field early but tighten up 
and form good solid heads at maturity. 
PRICES. Your choice of any or all three of these strains of New York. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; Vilb. 85 cts.; lb. $2.50; 5 lbs. 
$12; 10 lbs. $22.50. 
Schell’s Special Strain Big Boston Lettuce 
A grand variety for early, midsummer, or fall use. Big, compact, cabbage-like heads, as yellow as gold inside and deliciously 
sweet, tender, and crisp. A very slight tinge of brown on the extreme edge of the leaf distinguishes the genuine Big Boston. It is 
more extensively grown than any other Lettuce, either for the private garden or for market. It is grown by market-gardeners 
everywhere in the open ground for summer and fall; in frames for early spring; forced cool in greenhouses for winter use, or planted 
out in fall with protection for early spring use. Our gardeners grow enormous crops of Big Boston on a comparatively small acreage 
because it can be planted close. The heads are very compact, as shown in illustration, with very few loose outside leaves, almost all 
head. It keeps its fine quality longer after being cut than most others, thus giving it added value for shipping. Thousands of acres 
of it are grown by our customers and this requires many thousands of pounds of our seed. My strain of it seems to be preferred, 
judging from the excellent reports we are receiving from new customers who have grown it for the first time and made comparison 
by growing our strain beside others. And 435Sfe. ..
