THE MARKET GARDENER’S SEEDSMEN OF THE SOUTHWEST 17 
Dependable Lettuce Seed 
looflOI'P' This is next to New York Market as 
ItCllCl g the heading variety for the South¬ 
west for the summer planting. Of course it is better 
during the winter months, but not so solid as the 
New York Market, which is strictly a winter va¬ 
riety, while the Iceberg is a good all-season Lettuce, 
and hundreds of carloads of Iceberg are being ship¬ 
ped when the other is not available. Iceberg Let¬ 
tuce planted later than March 1st should be grown 
on dark, heavy soil, because if grown on light, 
sandy soil, the heat of the sun reflected from the 
sand on the under side of the leaves causes them 
to burn almost to the heart. The light green, curled, 
red-tinged leaves of the Iceberg form heads as 
large as the New York Market, but not so solid, 
but it is as tender and crisp, and is of excellent 
flavor. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; *4 lb-, 50c; 
*4 lb., 80c; lb., $1.50. Ask for special prices on 
larger quantities. 
HunCflll Without exception this is the best 
ndllsUll variety for late spring and midsum¬ 
mer crop. Prof. F. W. Mally. Farm Demonstrator 
of Webb County, Texas, discovered Hanson Lettuce 
to be resistant to both heat and disease, and partic¬ 
ularly resistant to eel worm which is often preva¬ 
lent where least expected. Hanson Lettuce :s simi¬ 
lar to the Iceberg Lettuce, except that it has not 
the tinge of red. We recommend it for the home 
garden. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50.

varieties. The plant grows very much like kale, to 
a height of 4 to 5 feet, with much growth of leaf.

It absolutely does not head and is seldom, if ever, 
used for table purposes. The wonderful leaf growth 
makes it ideal for green food for chickens, etc.
