CRISP-HEAD LETTUCE 
These form tightly folded heads, and where the plants are grown 
singly at a suitable distance apart, they make very large, round, 
solid heads which are blanched to light green or creamy yellow in 
the center of the plant. 
530 Burpee’s Iceberg o 
82 days. Curled, crisp plants of medium size, pro¬ 
ducing attractive green, wavy, fringed leaves having 
edges that are tinged with light brown. The heads are 
compact, not too large, and have few outer leaves and 
most delicious, crisp, tender hearts blanched to a sil¬ 
very white even under average garden conditions. 
Iceberg is exceedingly vigorous and hardy, so that it 
will withstand quite hot weather; it is well suited to 
Eastern and Mid-Western growing conditions for this 
reason. This is the original Iceberg Lettuce intro¬ 
duced by Burpee in 1894. It should not be confused 
with New /ork Improved, which is grown in certain 
Western sections under the name “Iceberg.”

524 New York Improved

rightly and by priority to the variety described as Burpee’s 
Iceberg. The heads grow to immense size and are closely 
folded. The outer leaves are deep green and the heart is 
blanched to a beautiful pure white. Crisp, juicy, and of 
most appetizing flavor. Pkt. 10^; oz. 20)z!; 4 ozs. 600;

528 Burpee’s Brittle IceQ 
82 days. Fine, quick-growing Lettuce with bright green 
outer leaves and a nearly white heart that is tender, succu¬ 
lent, and crisp. It retains its crispness and mild flavor to a 
greater degree during warm weather than any other crisp- 
head variety except Iceberg. Its delicious refreshing flavor 
has made it a popular Lettuce with many gardeners. The 
heads are fairly compact and conical in shape; its luscious 
and tender heart is all that its name implies—Brittle Ice. 
Introduced by Burpee in 1903.

Followthe Bull’s Eye 
We have used this mark O for 
years to guide the gardener in 
the selection of varieties whicli 
we believe will give the best re¬ 
sults under varied conditions of 
soil and climate. This mark ©, 
usually called a bull’s eye, was used by the ancient 
alchemists to represent gold. It therefore is most 
appropriate for indicating the varieties which we 
consider the best of their class. If you are not 
thoroughly posted which varieties to choose as 
the most suitable for your particular section, we 
recommend that you make your selection pri¬ 
marily from those marked with the bull's eye.
