HEADING VARIETIES “ICEBERG TYPES’’ 
IMPERIAL NO. 847, BLACK SEEDED 
One of the newest varieties of Imperial (Iceberg). Leaves smooth, thick 
medium light green. Heads round, well folded. This variety has given ex- 
cellent results for later plantings in preference to No. 44 and also our Imperial 
No. 8. 
NEW YORK or WONDERFUL NO. 12 
A selection from the original New York or Wonderful. Grows large, solid 
heads, slightly lighter in color than the old New York. Not adapted for grow- 
ing in muck soil although we have seen fairly satisfactory results obtained on 
shallow muck. Recommended particularly for upland soil. Excellent results 
are obtained with this variety by starting under glass and replanting. 

NEW YORK No. 55 LETTUCE 
NEW YORK NO. 55 
Earliest maturing New York, crisp, hard heading of highest quality. Fairly 
resistant to tip burn. A recent introduction that has proven very profitable 
for lettuce growers in this state. 
NEW YORK or WONDERFUL NO. 515 
A popular, early strain of New York. Heads are well formed, round, color light 
bright green. A very dependable header that does best on upland. 
LOOSE LEAVED VARIETIES 
Black Seeded Simpson 
One oi the best for sowing outdoors where an exceedingly tender leaf is de- 
sired and for those markets which demand a very large, loose clustering sort 
of a light yellowish green color. Leaves ruffled and blistered and even the 
large outer ones are very tender. Uniformly attractive and remains of excel- 
lent quality a very long time. 
Cos or Romaine ae ae ‘ 
Frequently called celery lettuce on account of its erect habit of growth. 
Giants rere about 8 or 9 inches tall and should be thinned to about 8 
inches apart in the rows so that each one will have plenty of room. The outer 
leaves are medium light green, the interior whitish green. Asa salad variety 
for the home garden, it has no superior.
