Cabbage Head Lettuce—Simon’s Select Stock 
Imperial 847—83 Days. Black seeded. Iceberg 
type. Will produce large solid heads in Spring, 
Summer and Fall. It is a little later than Imperial 
44 but has larger heads of finest quality.

Cabbage-like head, round, solid, medium size, light 
green, slightly tinged with brown edges. Is an early, 
quick grower, extremely good shipper.

compact hard head. 
New York Green, Wonderful or Los Angeles— 
75 Days. White Seed. Possibly the most sought 
after Lettuce in the market today. It is the crisp, 
hard. Lettuce which is served so extensively on 
dining cars and in hotels and restaurants. It is a 
large heading variety, dark metallic green, slightly 
curled on the edges, producing the most solid or 
compact head of any Lettuce in use. 
New York No. 12—73 Days. An early improved 
strain of New York for Spring and Summer. It is 
a wel! bred selection of this famous lettuce, being 
lighter in color, more desirable for general planting 
than any other stock of New York. This strain does 
better on the Atlantic Coast than other strains of 
New York. 
Salamander or Black Seeded Tennis Ball—65 
Days. Black Seed, forming a large size, light green 
compact head with a white heart, very tender, crisp, 
extremely slow to run to Seed. The Salamander is 
one of the best, if not the best, heat resisting Lettuces 
available today.

finest heading types in existence. Outer leaves 
smooth, light in color. Heads globular in shape.

poner types of Lettuce and we recommend it with

Cos or Romaine Lettuce 
Cos originated on the Island of Cos near 
Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. Both 
varieties were listed by us over 100 years ago. 
Green Cos—65 Days. White Seed. Same as Paris 
White Cos except leaves are dark green. 
Paris White Cos or Trianon—65 Days. White 
Seed. A strong grower and very productive with 
long, shell-shaped, light green leaves of most ex- 
cellent quality. Itisaself-folder, but when the plant 
is over half grown it is best tied up with a soft string 
or a wisp of grass that the inner leaves may be 
blanched perfectly white, in which condition they 
are more crisp and decidedly more palatable than 
varieties of a Cabbage-heading habit. 
Cutting or Loose-Leaved Sorts 
Black Seeded Simpson—50 Days. Black Seed. 
A standard loose-leaved American variety. Crisp, 
yellowish green leaves of large size, grows very 
quickly, of fine quality. The flavor is excellent; it is 
the most popular of all the loose-leaved sorts. Color 
of leaves a lighter yellow than White Seeded Simpson.
