This new lettuce is outstanding for 
its ability to produce fine solid heads of 
“Iceberg” lettuce under a variety of 
conditions. It is one of the few kinds 
that will succeed on both muck and 
upland and produce good heads in July 
as well as early spring or fall. 
The heads are uniformly large, very 
solid and attractive in appearance. 
They handle and ship well. 
We recommend this variety highly. 
See prices below.
