Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Wholesale Seed Growers, Cambridge, N. Y. 
HANSON IMPROVED —NONPAREIL (82 days)—W. S. One of the most re¬ 
liable, sure-heading sorts. Heads globular, large and late; leaves large and 
very broad, fairly blistered and crumpled, borders finely frilled; color clear 
light green; quality good. A fine variety for mid-summer planting outside, as 
it withstands the hot season better than most sorts and is a slow seeder. 
HENDERSON'S NEW YORK CABBAGE — WONDERFUL (80 days)—W. S. A 
very large, late, globular heading variety; leaves broad, of thick texture, fairly 
blistered and crumpled, and the borders frilled; color clear dark green; qual¬ 
ity good. Known in California and the Far West as “Los Angeles,” and shipped 
to Eastern markets under the misleading name of “Iceberg.” 
ICEBERG (80 days)-—W. S. A large, late, crisp cabbage-heading variety; heads 
very firm, hard and well blanched; leaves unusually broad and quite blistered 
and crumpled, borders finely frilled; color medium green with faint brown 
tracing on the border; quality good. An excellent summer variety. If you wish 
the lettuce offered by dealers in vegetables as Iceberg, please specify New 
York in your order. 
MAY KING (61 days)—W. S. A handsome, small, extremely early, compact 
heading variety; leaves light yellowish-green, tinged reddish brown at the 
edges, while the heart blanches a rich golden yellow; quality fine. 
NEW YORK No. 12 (75 days)-—W. S. An exceptionally fine selection from Hen¬ 
derson’s New York. Very large, light-colored heads which, under favorable 
conditions, become very solid. May be successfully grown along Atlantic 
Coast and Eastern parts of the U. S. as it is recommended for mid-summer use. 
SALAMANDER (72 days)—B. S. One of the most popular American varieties; 
heads of medium size, very solid, compact and globular in form; leaves 
straight on the edges but crumpled; color medium green; quality fine. Sala¬ 
mander succeeds under most trying weather conditions where most varieties 
fail; quite identical with Black Seeded Tennisball. 
TENNISBALL, BLACK SEEDED (72 days)—A very reliable, adaptable, sure-head¬ 
ing sort; heads globular, firm and well blanched; leaves broad and crumpled; 
color medium green, never spotted brown; quality the best. Quite identical 
with Salamander.
