VARIETIES THAT HEAD

Imperial 44—82 days. A mighty good “iceberg” type head 
lettuce for this part of the country. The head is of good size, 
good quality, generally very solid, and is resistant to tip- 
burn. The seed is white. % lb., 95c; lb., $3.25; 5 to 25 lbs. @

Pennlake—Bronze Medal Winner, originated by Dr. M. T. 
Lewis, Penn State College. Looks very much like Great 
Lakes but heads are smaller and rather conical in shape. 
The leaves are heavier, have less frills and fold very tightly 
over the top of the head. More compact than Great Lakes 
with fewer outer and darker green leaves. It does show 
some tip burn. We urge you to try it out well before you put 
in any acreage. 4 lb., $1.70; lb., $6.00; 5 to 25 lbs. @ $5.85 
per lb. 
Premier Great Lakes—Another Bronze Medal Winner orig- 
inated by Dr. M. T. Lewis of Penn State College. An early 
Great Lakes strain with very large, smooth, dark green 
leaves folding tightly over the top of the head. The heads 
are large, uniform and compact and are also slow to bolt to 
seed. Try it. It may be the lettuce you can grow well and 
that your market wants. % lb., $1.65; lb., $5.65: 5 lbs. or 
more @ $5.50 per lb. 

Progress—Introduced by Dr. Ross Thompson of the U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture, Beltsville, Md. Many of the growers 
have seen it in our trials under the number 2428. It has 
done very well in New Jersey and other Eastern states. As 
compared with Imperial 44, Progress is darker green, 
thicker leaved, more savoyed; heads are more dense and 
more resistant to tip burn. The seeds are white. Oz., 45c:

this for several years very successfully. It is as fine a strain 
of the large headed, big frame White Boston as there is in 
the country. % lb., 65c; Ib., $2.15; 5 to 25 lbs. @ $2.00 per lb.
