Imperial 44—Surest Heading ‘‘Iceberg’’ Lettuce for the East 



This new lettuce has definitely changed 
lettuce growing practices in the East. It 
has proved to be the outstanding “‘Iceberg”’ 
lettuce to grow, especially on muck. It is 
the variety which does best on a wide range 
of soils both upland and muck, and will 
produce crops that can compete success- 
fully with western grown Iceberg. Not only 
does it head better than any other strains 
but has shown definite resistance to tip 
burn. We have seen trial rows cut 100% 
good heads in July and commercial crops 
fully 90%. 
The head is true Iceberg type, solid and 
of fine quality. Muck grown heads are 
usually a little larger than on upland. If 
you haven’t done so by all means try 
Imperial 44 this year. See prices below. 
White Boston—Special Strain 

One important thing about the Harris’ 
Strain of White Boston is the uniform man- 
ner in which it heads, so that there is practically no waste in cutting a crop. 
It has proved to be more resistant to tip burn than any variety we have ever seen. 
You cannot get a better strain of White Boston Lettuce no matter what you pay for the seed. 
Our stock is fully equal to any strain obtainable. See prices below.
