ICEBERG 
87 Days —A crisp heading late variety for

produce trade. True Iceberg is large with 
wavy, fringed light green leaves tinged with 
brown at the edges. Heads compact, crum¬ 
pled, white inside, crisp and sweet. 
NEW YORK

Angeles. This is the crisp heading variety 
grown in immense quantities on the Pacific 
coast and shipped to eastern markets as Ice¬ 
berg. The plants are large, 12 to 15 ins. 
across with dark green leaves only slightly 
curled on the edges. Heads are solid, well 
blanched, sweet and tender.

weather. A butter lettuce similar in shape and 
habit to the Salamander. Seed black.
