533 Pennlake (New) 
The Best New Lettuce for Muck and Upland 
Lettuce growers in the Northeast will welcome 
this hard-heading early lettuce developed by 
Prof. M. T. Lewis of Penn State College. It is 
early, ahead of Cornell 456, heads nearly all at 
one time and cuts a very high percentage. 
Notable for large, even, compact heads, Penn- 
lake has rather smooth dark green leaves, 
resists tip-burn well and has better quality than 
456. Not quite as large as Great Lakes, it will 
be preferred by many growers for its earliness 
and uniformity. Muck tests have proved it 
outstanding for early crop and it is excellent on 
upland. All-America Winner for 1949. Seed 
very scarce this year. See prices below. 
520 Great Lakes 
Great Lakes has become the leading Iceberg 
lettuce through its ability to produce fine clean 
hard heads, even in midsummer. Highly re- 
sistant to tip-burn, it heads nearly 100% under 
a wide range of conditions, and is slower to bolt 
than any other variety. 
The leaves are crisp, thick and very dark 
green with heavy ribs, and make large, solid 
heads. Planted in the spring, they are ready 
about a week later than Cornell 456, but can 
stand without cutting a long time. Best adapted 
for upland growing. See prices below. 
508 Cornell 456 
This tip-burn resistant variety has proved to be 
the one outstanding lettuce to grow on muck 
and is excellent for upland in many sections. A 
hard heading Iceberg type, it stands adverse 
weather conditions very well. The solid compact 
heads are medium-sized and are ready early. 
Growers like Cornell 456 for summer crops, as 
well as spring and fall. See prices below. 

PENNLAKE—New early Iceberg 
534 Premier Great Lakes (New) 
Also from Penn State, this refined, slightly 
earlier strain of Great Lakes has proved highly 
successful in many tests. An All America Win- 
ner, it has a smooth, less blistered leaf than the 
regular and matures very evenly. The heads are 
large and uniform, rather light green and of the 
same solid type, tip-burn resistant and long 
standing. Well worth a trial on upland. See 
prices below. 
536 Progress (New) 
A new crisp-heading lettuce in the Imperial 
class, developed by the U.S.D.A. in cooperation 
with the New Jersey Station. The leaves are 
heavily savoyed, bright rich green in color and 
the heads are attractive, firm and of fine qual- 
ity. It matures about in season with Imperial 
44, has more tip-burn resistance and has done 
remarkably well in several sections of the East. 
Recommended for upland growers who prefer 
New York or Imperial types. See prices below.
