Imperial 44—Surest Heading ‘‘Iceberg’’ Lettuce for the East 
This new lettuce has proved to be the 
outstanding “‘Iceberg’”’ type to grow in the 
East and is the variety which does best on a 
wide range of soils, both upland and muck. It 
produces crops that can compete successfully 
with western grown Iceberg. Not only does it 
head better than any other strain but it 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 grow some Imperial 44 
this year. See prices below.

White Boston—Special Strain Grown by Waldo Derwick, Albion, N. Y.

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.
