Sorry but we can’t fill orders that call for Cornell 
456 and Great Lakes lettuce seed only. Supplies of 
both of these kinds are very limited and we must give 
preference to those growers who purchase at least a 
part of their other seeds from us. 


Ed O'Connor of Oswego, N. Y. could only get 18 heads in a crate from 
some of the Cornell 456 Lettuce he grew from our seed
