PREMIER GREAT LAKES ‘acaMtnica@SSEteCtiOn7 Bronze Medal 
. . . bred for upland soils, early maturity 
Transplanted or seeded, Premier Great Lakes may 
be planted in succession for a summer crop in widely 
diversified areas. An individual plant selection by the 
Pennsylvania Agriculture Experiment Station from origina- 
tor's Great Lakes stock. 
PLANT: Has produced better than 90 per cent market- 
able heads. Produces unusually solid, almost 
round heads—up to 7 in. diam, 2-lb weight. 
Outer leaves are somewhat flattened, smooth, 
without ruffled margins. Greater uniformity, 
little ribbiness. 
MATURITY: Produces 7-10 days earlier than standard 
Great Lakes. 
NOTE: Variety is slow to bolt and is quite resistant 
to tipburn. 
PENNLAKE Bronze Medal 
... bred for abundant, early summer yield dependability 
Developed from a cross of Great Lakes and Im- 
perial 847, the Pennlake combines solidity and tipburn 
resistance of the former with large head size of latter. 
Great uniformity, hence high percentage of marketable 
heads at first cutting. 
PLANT: Crisp, dark green foliage lacking rib- 
biness. Compact heads with rich green 
interior are completely protected from 
scald by broad enfolding wrapper leaves. 
Heat tolerant—will not bolt. 
ADAPTABILITY: Will do well as early summer or fall crop. 
Adapted to upland or muck soils through- 
out the United States. 
MATURITY: In season with Great Lakes. 
NOTE: Supply is limited.

PROGRESS 
. . . all-around, eastern-proved early variety 
Progress is an early, dark green, thick-leaved, 
heavily savoyed, tipburn-resistant, crisp head variety of 
good flavor and high quality. Lacks bitter flavor near heart 
common to most varieties. The result of a selection from a 
cross of Imperial 44 and an un-named hybrid, Progress has 
been “proved for early production in eastern states, notably 
New Jersey. 
PLANT: Darker green, thicker-leaved, more savoyed 
than Imperial 44. Denser heads, more tipburn- 
resistant and of better quality. 
MATURITY: 80 days. Bolts at an intermediate date. 
NOTE: Supply is limited.
