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 
85 days. Curled, crisp plants of medium size, 
producing 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 silvery 
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 grow¬ 
ing conditions. This is the original Iceberg 
Lettuce introduced by Burpee in 1894. It 
should not be confused with New York and 
Imperial strains, which are grown in certain 
Western sections under the name “Iceberg.”
