LETTUCE—Cont. 
Heading Varieties 
Iceberg. A 
large plant 
forming a 
hard crum¬ 
pled head. 
White in¬ 
side, crisp, sweet and fine quality. Outer leaves light green 
tinged with brown on margins. Tender head makes it excel¬ 
lent for home gardening. 
Salamander 
Lettuce 
Crisp as Ice. 
The heads 
are large 
and very 
solid. When 
cut open 
they have a 
rich creamy 
heart and 
are so ten¬ 
der and brit¬ 
tle as to 
warrant the 
name, “Crisp 
as Ice.” 
Improved Hanson Head. In all respects one of the very best 
outdoor varieties. It is very hardy and will stand extremes 
of weather better, perhaps, than any other of the “crisp head¬ 
ing” sorts. In color it is of an attractive green. The head, 
which attains a large size, is hard, tender and crisp, with a 
blanched appearance in the center. It is of capital table qual¬ 
ity, wholly free from bitterness. 
New York or Wonderful, Los Angeles Market or Mountain 
Iceberg. Produces immense heads, solid as a cabbage. The 
heart blanches beautifully, being crisp, tender and delicious. 
Outer color is a distinct apple green. A desirable standard 
lettuce, which does best in cool climates. 
Salamander. Forms large, solid heads of thick, smooth, very 
tender leaves of the finest quality. The leaves are broad, 
somewhat crumpled and closely overlapping so that the inner 
ones are very finely blanched. It withstands hot weather re¬ 
markably well and can be planted any time during the 
summer.
