Imperial 44 
Sure Heading ‘‘Iceberg’’ for the East 
Imperial 44 is the outstanding ‘“‘Ice- 
berg” 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 compete successfully with west- 
ern grown Iceberg. Not only does it head 
better than any other strain but it has 
shown some 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. See 
prices below. 
“Imperial 44 1s the first head lettuce I have 
ce __ ees = been able to raise here, and it 1s a good one.”

White Boston—Special Strain 
Year after year this has proved to be a most dependable stock. One of the outstanding features 
of our strain is the uniform manner 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.
