GREAT LAKES—Bronze Medal award for 1944. This 
is of the Imperial type which is so largely used 
by truck gardeners. What chiefly distinguishes 
Great Lakes from other varieties of the Imperial 
type is its increased resistance to tip-burn injury 
and greater ability to produce solid heads under 
adverse conditions. The leaves are large, relatively 
thick, folding well over the head so that when 
unwrapped they give large pieces desirable for 
salads.
