“ 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 may tipburn and 
slime. Will not stand long in the field when ready 
to harvest. We recommend at least 2 or 3 cut- 
tings. Don't wait until the entire crop has ma- 
tured. It produces 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. An excellent strain of New York 
for mountain, high altitude crops as it is a good 
header and slow to seed. A rapid grower; heads 
large, well formed and slew to slime or tipburn. 
At heading time it likes liberal amount of water.

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.

green butter-head variety; rather small, loosely 
headed; leaves smooth with thick main rib; 
excellent quality. Does best if planted early.

ly early, very hardy, tender, crisp, and of rich
