EETSUGE 
HEADING VARIETIES (Cont.) 
MIGNONETTE, b. s. 
Splendid for the home garden; the most popular lettuce in Hawaii, Guam and 
the Philippines. Plant medium small; compact; medium brown with dark 
greenish tinge; leaves frilled; head globular; firm; heart well blanched, almost 
white; of excellent quality. 
NEW YORK, WONDERFUL, OR LOS ANGELES, w. s. 
-Plant large, dark green, crisp heading, with large outer leaves which are 
notched and slightly curled on the edges and large, tightly folded cabbage-like 
head which is well blanched, crisp and sweet. Now largely supplanted by the 
Imperial strains. 
NEW YORK NO. 12, w. s. 
An early sure heading strain adapted to warmer weather than the original 
type. Forms somewhat flat, exposed heads with rather light green, thin leaves. 
NEW YORK NO. 515 IMPROVED, w. s. 
Similar in habit and type of plant to New York No. 12. Medium size compact 
plant but produces heads of good size. Head ieaves quite upright at early stages 
of growth but at maturity the heads are round and well formed. Color a rather 
light bright green. Has generally replaced the original New York No. 515. 
SALAMANDER, b. s. (Black Seeded Tennisball) 
Very dependable; particularly popular with market gardeners because it forms 
fairly good heads when the weather is so warm that most varieties fail. Head 
globular, hard and buttery; of sweet, delicate flavor. 
WHITE BOSTON, w. s. (Unrivalled) 
Our White Boston is the perfected, pure-bred strain of Unrivalled. This is a 
cabbage, butter-head type, leaves smooth and straight on the edges. Plant and 
head entirely light green; heart buttery and yellow. This strain is the best in 
existence, and we have given it this name to distinguish it from Big Boston. 
WHITE BOSTON CORNELL NO. 43, w. s. 
A strain of White Boston developed by the New York State College of Agri- 
culture. Produces larger, darker green plants than the parent strain. Very de- 
sirable where a large frame type of White Boston is preferred.
