tive, compact, with broad frilled light green

ICEBERG A-1—A new variety that has been tried 
out in 1942 and found instant favor wherever 
used. Resistant to tipburn and a week earlier

variety, do so and see for yourself what fine 
Iceberg you can raise.

partment of Agriculture and Cornell Experiment

warm weather as well as any firm heading 
lettuce. Not adapted for fall use.
