Tipburn Resistant—New Iceberg Type for Summer Growing 
This new variety, developed at Michigan State College, gives growers something they have 
always wanted—a lettuce that will really stand up and produce good hard heads even in the hot 
weather of midsummer. It is highly resistant to tipburn, heads nearly 100% under a wide range of 
conditions and stands without bolting longer than any other kind. 
The plants are large and vigorous, and the heads are of good size and attractive deep green 
color. They have heavy ribs and crisp thick leaves that fold well over to make very solid hard 
heads. Planted in the spring, they are ready to cut about a week later than Imperial 44 and will 
remain in condition a long time thereafter. 
Great Lakes is best adapted for upland 
growing, and for summer lettuce it has no 
equal. See prices below. 
525 Imperial 44 
For spring and fall crops, Imperial 44 
is still the best Iceberg type to grow in the 
East, both on muck and upland. It is a sure 
heading, high quality lettuce, producing 
crops that compete successfully with 
western grown Iceberg. 
The heads are large, well formed and 
solid and practically every plant makes a 
fine head. It has considerable resistance to 
tipburn and produces lettuce of very 
superior quality. We highly recommend 
Imperial 44 to all growers. See prices below. Imperial 44 Lettuce 
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 tipburn 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.
