tive* Leaves large, medium green, drooping backwards* 
LETTUC'E 
One of the oldest vegetables, of unknown origin. Lettuce continues to 
hold its important position, which is due in part to the breeding of better 
types, and also to refrigerated transportation from the producing areas to 
all sections of the country. Our stocks are bred for disease resistance, 
uniformity, and high quality* The number of days represents the time re¬ 
quired to develop marketable heads from the planting of seed, under aver¬ 
age conditions* The letters "b*s*" indicate black seeded varieties, and 
fw* s- n white seeded* Varieties listed in larger letters are, in our judg¬ 
ment, the most desirable ones* 
The imperial strains and varieties were developed by Dr* Ivan C.Jagger 
and introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture.
