ICEBERG, W. S. A beautiful lettuce. Large curly 
leaves of bright, light green with a very slight 
reddish tinge at the edges. The unusual solidity

ribs of the leaves, each of which curves strongly 
to the center making it impossible for the leaves 
to open outward and expose the center which is 
constantly thoroughly blanched. Ready in 80 days.
