LETTUCE 
New York Tip-Burn Resistant. All heading varieties of 
lettuce are very susceptible to tip-burn. It first starts as a 
wilt on the edges or margins of the leaves which later dries 
and turns brown and in turn produces slime in the head. 
It is the most insidious and damaging enemy with which 
lettuce growers must contend. For the past 2 years we have 
made extensive trials with this especially bred strain and find 
it very resistant to tip-burn, and it withstood the hot weather 
even better than New York No. 12, and remained in ship¬ 
ping condition a long while. Pkt., 15c; 3£ oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 
34 lb., $1.25; 3£ lb., $2.25; lb., $3.50, postpaid.

ous grower. The outer leaves fold over the heads and are

crops of lettuce in California and Arizona. It will stand more 
freezing weather than the other varieties. Takes a little 
longer to mature. Leaves darker and a little coarser than 
New York. This variety grown very extensively in the Im¬

Culture. Growing of the loose heading varieties is much the 
same as the New York varieties but much easier to grow. 
However, sow in 15-inch rows and thin the leaf varieties to 4 
inches apart and the BIG BOSTON to 7 inches apart as soon 
as a few leaves are formed. For early crop plants can be sown 
in hotbeds and transplanted to the open field.
