LETTUCE ? 
A packet will sow about 30 feet of row; an ounce 250 feet. 
Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce. By making suc- 
cessive sowings you can have a supply of lettuce throughout the season from little space. 
The loose leaf varieties may be thinned to four to six inches when they come up and then 
every other one taken out and used as they get larger. To get really fine lettuce use the 
heading varieties and thin to 12-18 inches while the plants are still small. Be sure to give 
the plants of head lettuce plenty of room or they will not make heads. 
“ICEBERG” LETTUCE 
“Iceberg”? has now become a general term used by growers, shippers and merchants in 
referring to a large group of crisp heading varieties of lettuce. There are many strains of 
Iceberg type grown in various parts of the country, different kinds being adapted to 
different conditions of soil and climate. We offer several varieties of Iceberg lettuce, as 
follows: Great Lakes, Imperial Nos. 44 and 847, New York No. 515, and the new Cornell 
456. These are the best Iceberg types for Eastern conditions and are all described below. 
HEADING VARIETIES 
520 GREAT LAKES. (New.) A new Iceberg type that will really stand up and 
produce good hard heads in the hot weather of midsummer 

when other kinds fail entirely. Large plants and fine big solid heads of extraordinary 
crispness. See full description on page 4.

Imperial 44 Lettuce 
525 IMPERIAL 44. Fine Quality Head Lettuce for Spring 

or Fall. One of the leading high quality 
Iceberg types for the East. For spring and fall crops we especially 
recommend Imperial 44 because of its very superior quality. It is well 
adapted to both muck and upland and makes uniform solid heads 
under a wide range of conditions. Ready to cut a week or more before 
Great Lakes and therefore especially valuable for early spring planting. 
The heads are médium size, slightly flattened in shape and very 
solid. The quality is excellent with crisp but tender leaves, and the 
fine big hearts are delicious. Commercial growers like Imperial 44 
because it competes successfully with western grown Iceberg, and for 
the home garden it is a most reliable and attractive type. 
Pkt. 15ce; 4% Oz. 25c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. $1.10; 4 Lb. $1.70. 
510 COSBERG. Small Early Heads for Home Gardens. One of the 
best varieties for the home garden because of its very fine quality. 
It resembles “Iceberg” in general appearance and is most remarkable 
for its crisp solid heads and superior flavor. The heads are small, round 
and extremely solid; they have an attractive light green color and the 
best quality of any lettuce of this type we have yet seen. It has proved 
a very sure header if the plants are not allowed to be crowded. Thin 
the seedlings to at least 10 or 12 inches apart.

532 MIGNONETTE. Fine for Home Gardens. For home use we prefer 
Mignonette to any other kind of head lettuce. It is very early and 
heads up well even under adverse conditions. The heads are small,

526 IMPERIAL 847. This excellent strain of ““Iceberg’’ produces excep- 
tionally fine lettuce under the right conditions. In some sections it is 
preferred to Imperial 44, as the heads are larger and rounder and are 
ready a few days later. The quality is very fine and the heads are solid 
and attractive. Recommended especially for growing on upland.
