IMPERIAL 815 
IMPERIAL 815. A sturdy, robust strain selected 
from 847. One of the best strains for Colorado 
but must be grown with care as it is a tight 
header and if weather is hot will tipburn and 
slime more quickly than 315 and 915. Will not 
stand long in the field when ready to harvest. 
We recommend at least 2 or 3 cuttings. Don’t 
wait until the entire crop has matured. It pro- 
duces a surprisingly high per cent of No. 1 heads 
which are large, solid and of fine appearance. 
Likes frequent and light waterings. Best suited 
for early summer and late fall crops.

NEW YORK 315. After thorough trials we like 315 
very much. Similar to 915 it does stand hot 
weather better than most other varieties. At head- 
ing time it likes liberal amount of water. A rapid 
grower, heads are large, well formed, and slow 
to slime or tipburn. This strain was bred from 
New York No. 515 and is superior to its parent. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35c) (%4 Ib. 90c) (%2 lb. $1.65) (Ib. 
$3.25). 
IMPERIAL 44. Heads medium large, slightly flat- 
tened, compact, one of the best hot, dry weather 
varieties, used extensively in the East and in 
Arizona as an early November crop. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35c) (1%4 Ib. 90c) (1% Ib. $1.70) (Ib. 
$3.25). 
NEW YORK NO. 12. 
cone-shaped and 
weather variety. 
(Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c) (%4 lb. 70c) (% Ib. $1.25) (lb. 
$2.25) (5 Ibs. $11.00). 
IMPERIAL 152. The most extensively used of the 
Imperial varieties. Especially adapted to Arizona 
and California for fall crops, but for Colorado 
and all the Rocky Mountain region we found 815 
a better sort. No. 152 produces large yields of 
good solid, fine appearing heads, but is quick 
to slime in warm weather. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 35c) (1%4 Ib. 95c) (Y% Ib. $1.75) (Ib. 
$3.40). 
Heads grow large, seldom 
slow to tipburn. A warm 
IMPERIAL 615. A variety that does best in cool 
weather. Withstands frost and cold better than 
other varieties, not especially recommended for 
Colorado but does well in Arizona and California 
during the winter months. 
(Pkt. 10c) (oz. 25c) (%4 lb. 75c) (lb. $2.75). 
LEAF AND OTHER VARIETIES 
CULTURE: Growing of the loose heading varieties 
is much the same as the New York varieties but much 
easier to grow. However, sow in 15-inch rows and 
thin the leaf varieties to 4 inches apart and the Big 
Boston to 7 inches apart as soon as a few leaves are 
formed. For an early crop plants can be sown in 
hotbeds and transplanted to the open field. 
HANSON. A very fine large semi-heading variety; 
leaves curled on the edges; light yellowish green. 
Crisp and brittle; very fine flavor; very best home 
garden variety. 
(Pkt. 5c) (large size pkt. 10c) (oz. 20c) (%4 lb. 60c) 
(Ib. $2.00). 
BIG BOSTON. This is a butter head variety, which 
means the leaves are somewhat oily and smooth, 
not crinkled, broad, light green color with a tint 
of red on edge. Does particularly well during 
cool weather. 
(Pkt. 5c) (large size pkt. 10c) (oz. 15c) (%4 lb. 40c) 
(Ib. $1.25). 
GRAND RAPIDS or IMPROVED BLACK SEEDED 
SIMPSON. (Gold Seal Quality.) Especially adap- 
ted for greenhouse culture. Also the best leaf 
lettuce to sow outside for the summer market, 
and recommended for family use. It does not 
form a head but produces beautiful, long curly 
and wrinkled leaves. It is easily grown, extreme- 
ly early, very hardy, tender, crisp, and of rich 
green color. 
(Pkt. 5c) (large size pkt. 10c) (oz. 15c) (%4 lb. 50c)

large, very curly, bright green tinted on edges

der. Desirable for home garden.

fresh crispness. Leaves are long, smooth, narrow, 
spoon-shaped, folding into loose heads. Culture 
the same as other lettuces.
