Tipburn Resistant—Best Iceberg Type for 
Summer Growing 
Great Lakes has become almost overnight the 
leading Iceberg lettuce for the East, because it 
consistently produces fine, clean, 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. See prices below.

525 Imperial 44 
High Quality Iceberg for Spring or Fall Crop 
For early spring and fall crops, Imperial 44 is 
is a hard-heading Iceberg type like Great Lakes 
and stands adverse conditions, such as hot 
weather, just as well. The solid compact heads 
develop evenly to about the size of Imperial 44 
and are ready almost as early. 
Cornell 456 is a real gain for lettuce growers, 
especially for summer crops. See prices below. 
still a good Iceberg type to grow in the East, both 
on muck and upland. It has some resistance 
to tipburn and produces lettuce of high quality 
that will compete successfully with western 
grown Iceberg. 
The heads are large, well formed and solid 
and practically every plant makes a fine head.
