NEW YORK OR WONDERFUL LETTUCE 
A curled or crisp heading variety, large, dark 
green and slightly curled on the edges. It is the 
most extensively grown of any of the head lettuces 
by market gardeners, and it is likewise in much 
favor with home gardeners everywhere. The ma- 
ture head is flattish globular, and has well 
folded leaves with the immediate outside 
leaves slightly incurved to protect the head 
from sunburn. The heads range from 16 
to 18 inches in diameter and weigh from 
3 to 3% pounds each. 
The heart is beautifully blanched, 
creamy white, crisp, tender, and free from 
any trace of bitterness. It is robust and 
is a standard hot weather variety.
