This variety 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 market 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. Intensive selection has resulted 
in many strains of New York, several of which 
we list below. 
GREAT LAKES — All-America bronze medal 
winner, ’44. We saw this remarkable new head 
lettuce last summer in the trial grounds of a Cali- 
fornia seediman. We were so impressed that we 
immediately ordered seed. What chiefly distin- 
guishes Great Lakes from other varieties of the 
Imperial type is its increased resistance to tip-burn 
injury and great ability to produce solid heads 
under adverse conditions. The leaves are large, 
relatively thick, folding well over the heads so 
that when unwrapped they give large sections 
desirable for salads. Large solid heads of finest 
quality, very free from tip-burn; also very sure 
heading. It is adaptable for good heads almost 
nation-wide. Pkt. 15c; 4 oz. 35c; oz. 60c; % Ib. $2.00. 
CORNELL—Similar to Great Lakes but not so 
resistant to tip-burn, but more resistant to slime. 
Its propensity to produce large, firm heads justifies 
its test for a spring or fall lettuce. Pkt. 10c; 
% oz. 30c; oz. 55c; 4 Ib. $2.00. 
NEW YORK SUPREME — (New). A true New 
York strain making solid heads of highest quality. 
The earliest N. Y. strain and claimed to be the 
most resistant to tip burn, making it ideal for 
summer crops. Besides this it is fine for early 
spring and fall lettuce. Both home and market 
gardeners should try this new strain. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c; 4 Ib. $1.40; Ib. $5.00.
