Lettuce Seed for 1944 
There is a definite shortage through- 
out the country of the ‘‘Iceberg” or 
Imperial varieties of lettuce seed for 
1944, Plantings were late and not large 
enough and the seed crops were far too 
small to meet the demand. In order to 
make the available supplies go as far as 
possible, we urge growers not to pur- 
chase any more seed than they actually 
need and to use the greatest care in 
sowing in order to reduce waste. If you 
have seed left over from last year we 
believe it will probably give satisfactory 
results for planting in 1944. 
525 Imperial 44 
Sure Heading ‘‘Iceberg’’ for the East 
Imperial 44 is still the leading ‘‘Ice- 
berg”’ type to grow in the East and ex- 
cept during the hot weather of mid- 
summer, it is the variety which does 
best on most soils, both muck and up- 
land. It produces crops that compete successfully with western grown Iceberg. 
The head is true Iceberg type, solid and of finest quality. Muck grown heads are usually a 
little larger than on upland. Crop failed. 
542 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. 
You cannot get a better strain of White Boston Lettuce no matter what you pay for the seed. 
Our stock is fully equal to any strain obtainable. See prices below.
