ety; leaves broad, of thick texture, fairly crumpled and 
the borders frilled, color clear dark green, quality good. 
NEW YORK No. 615—Is a Pieters-Wheeler introduction 
and was bred as a summer variety to resist Tip-burn.

general appearance of New York No. 12. However, it has

to Tip-burn, It is an improvement on New York No. 12.

No. 847. Prices quoted on request. 
[MPERIAIi No. 162—It is of the New York type, being 
about the same size as the old regular New York. It is 
the most sure-heading of all varieties of New York on 
the market today in that it has the habit of growing 
close to the ground and folding over while the plant is 
still in the young stages. Its only drawback is that it 
contains Imperial No. 6 blood. It is the most susceptible 
of all varieties to Tip-burn. 
CHICKEN LiETTUCE—'A hardy, tall growing, dark green 
variety, producing the largest amount of leaves of any 
lettuce; grown entirely for poultry and rabbit feed.

northern sections and high altitudes where the 
seasons are short, ripening in 65 to 70 days from 
planting. It is of an attractive green color striped 
with lighter green. Flesh is dark red and tender 
with a rich sugary flavor. Weighs 9 to 10 pounds, 
seed white. Splendid for early market and home 
garden.

tled and finely veined with a darker shade; flesh

ity good; seeds light brown.

shape, averaging 18 to 20 inches in length and 10 
to 12 inches in diameter. The appearance is hand¬ 
some, the flesh is a bright scarlet, with flavor 
which is superbly delicious. Unfortunately the 
skin is too tender to admit of shipping to any great 
distance. Very similar to Kleckley’s.
