NEW YORK (See strains listed below)—This va- 
riety is the most popular lettuce in America. It 
makes large, solid heads and bleaches very white 
and brittle. During the summer months this lettuce 
is shipped East from Oregon and Washington, and, 
in the winter, it is shipped to our Northern mar- 
kets from California. We have a very large trade 
with market gardeners and sell New York seed to 
plant thousands of acres each year. Do not gamble 
with your crop by buying cheap lettuce seed. In- 
tensive selection has resulted in several strains of
