HENDERSON'S FAMOUS 
NEW YORK and IMPERIAL TYPES 
NEW YORK (HENDERSON’S). 
We introduced this noted variety many years ago. It has been 
extensively grown in all sections of the country, and although not 
as popular today since the introduction of the earlier New York 
types, is still used in large quantities in many localities. The 
plants are large, with dark green outer leaves, which are slightly 
curled on the edges. The heads are large, very solid, well blanched, 
crisp, sweet, and are slow to run to seed. Our strain is noted for 
its uniformity and large sized heads.

NEW YORK NO. 12. 
This is an earlier selection from Henderson's New York. It is very 
sure heading and better adapted to warm weather than the original 
type. The plants are compact with few outer leaves, and head with 
great uniformity. The heads are slightly flattened, solid, and of a 
large even size. The most dependable of the New York types, 
especially under varied growing conditions.

NEW YORK NO. 515. 
An early type of New York which in appearance resembles New 
York No. 12, but is a few days earlier and brighter green in color. 
The heads are well formed, solid and very attractive. It is also 
dependable in heading and well adapted to a wide range of soil 
and growing conditions. Highly recommended.

IMPERIAL NO. 44. 
This new Iceberg type was developed by Dr. I. C. Jagger of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. During 1936 and 1937 test 
plantings of Imperial No. 44 were made in various lettuce growing 
muck districts of the East. The variety looked so promising in these 
tests, that lettuce growers throughout the muck sections are very 
enthusiastic about the possibilities of this new variety. Although 
not extensively tried on upland soils, we believe it will be suitable 
there as well. Imperial No. 44 produces large, hard, well formed 
heads, uniform in size. In comparative test plantings, it has pro- 
duced a good percentage of hard heads when nearby plantings 
of commercial strains proved worthless.

IMPERIAL NO. 847. 
This new black seeded New York type has proven very 
satisfactory in many sections of the East. It is particularly well 
suited to upland soil. We have seen several commercial plantings 
that were so even in maturity that the entire crop was ready for 
cutting at one time. Plants medium large, with bright green 
leaves. Heads round, large, solid, crisp and of good quality.

Imperial No. 847 
Standard Heading Varieties 
SPECIAL WHITE BOSTON (UNRIVALED). This is a white strain 
of the popular Big Boston. The outer foliage is bright green, and 
does not have the red or bronze tinge that is characteristic of Big 
Boston. Itis, however, similar in size and shape of head, but the 
frame of the plant is a trifle smaller and matures a little earlier. 
The heads are solid, attractive, and unsurpassed in quality.
