533 Pennlake 
Fine New Early Lettuce for Upland 
Upland lettuce growers have found Pennlake 
to be without equal for early crops, and it can 
be grown successfully on muck when weather 
conditions are not too severe. Its earliness and 
large even compact heads are outstanding, and 
it heads nearly all at one time, cutting a high 
percentage. Developed by Prof. M. T. Lewis of 
Penn State College, Pennlake has rather smooth 
dark green leaves protecting the head well and 
has fine quality. It is not quite as large as Great 
Lakes but is preferred by many for its earliness 
and uniformity. If you have not tried it, do so 
this year. See prices below. 
520 Great Lakes 
Great Lakes is still the leading Iceberg lettuce 
on upland because of its ability to produce big 
clean hard heads, even in midsummer. Highly 
resistant to tip-burn, it heads well 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. Our strain 
is the best obtainable. See prices below. 
534 Premier Great Lakes (New) 
Also from Penn State, this refined, slightly 
earlier strain of Great Lakes has proved suc- 
cessful for many upland growers. An AIll- 
America winner, it has a smooth, less blistered 
leaf than the regular and matures very evenly. 
The heads are large and uniform, rather light 
green and solid, not quite as resistant to tip- 
burn in hot weather as the regular Great Lakes. 
See prices below.

508 Cornell 456 
Best for Muck—Withstands Summer Heat 
Cornell 456 has proved to be the one outstand- 
ing lettuce to grow on muck and is excellent for 
upland in many sections. A hard heading 
Iceberg type, it is very slow to bolt, is tip-burn 
resistant and so vigorous that it is practically 
a sure header. 
In the severe weather conditions that many 
muck areas experienced last summer, our strain 
of Cornell 456 stood up well, being the true 
original type, uniform and adapted to our local 
conditions. It can be grown for summer crops 
as well as spring and fall. Earlier than Great 
Lakes, it is medium sized with an attractive 
glossy color and fine quality, and for both 
muck and upland it is a highly successful 
variety. See prices below.
