leaves. Head .S in. in diameter, slightly flattened. Leaves

crisp, and icy green—tender and refreshingly flavored. Re¬

in a southern climate and shows considerable resistance to 
heal. If you have had difficulty in grt)wing head Lettuce, 
.Spearhead may be the variety for you. Try it.

make your selections from those marked

brown. The heads are compact, not loo large, and have lew

a silvery w'hite even under average garden conditions. Iceberg is 
exceedingly vigorous and hardy, so that it will withstand quite hot 
weather. This is the original Iceberg Lettuce introduced by

Improved, which is grown in certain w'estern sections under the
