New York No. 515 
A New “California Iceberg’ ’ 
Lettuce for the East 
This is the surest heading stock 
of the New York or Wonderful let¬ 
tuce which we have ever seen. In 
our trials each year both on muck 
and upland this summer it shows 
marked superiority in this respect. 
The type and general appear¬ 
ance is shown in the photo to the 
right. The heads are solid and of an 
attractive bright green color. In our 
trials New York No. 515 matured a 
little earlier than New York No. 12. 
We urge growers who have not 
been successful in raising the New 
York type of lettuce to try this new 
strain. See price below. 
One important thing about the Harris’ Strain of White Boston is the uniform manner in which 
it heads, so that there is practically no waste in cutting a crop. 
It has proved itself more resistant to tip burn than any variety we have ever seen. 
You cannot get a better strain of White Boston Lettuce no matter what you pay for the seed. 
Our stock is equal to any strain obtainable even at twice the price See prices below. 
Grand Rapids U. S. No. 1 —A Better Forcing Curly Lettuce 
This new strain of Grand Rapids has proved to be very superior both for forcing and outdoor 
growing where a “curly” lettuce is desired and is well worth trying. The plants are a little larger 
and more robust than other strains, very uniform for size and well curled. The color is the much 
desired light green. See price below.
