Uses Code Days 
ICEBERG w. s. HM LARCH 82 
Greatly in demand for use in home gardens. Not the variety so often shipped 
and sold as “Iceberg”. This true Iceberg is more tender, of better flavor than 
those New York, Great Lakes, and Imperial shipping types, but not as hardy. 
HEADS—Medium large, well formed, attractive, compact, hard, crumpled, 
light green; interior white, crisp, tender, and sweet; outside leaves 
curled and wavy with fringed edges, margins tinged with reddish 
brown. 
IMPERIAL No. 44 w.s. MS LAPOR 82 
Adapted to specific sections, where it produces excellent but fairly small heads. 
Matures best under fall growing conditions. 
HEADS—Smaller than No. 847, outer leaves tightly folded and compact with ~ 
a slight twist making a solid attractive head. 
IMPERIAL No. 847 b.s. MS LATTS 82 
Resistant to Brown Blight it is used in areas where this disease is a factor. 
Is also used in other areas, rather widely adapted although replaced to some 
extent by Great Lakes types. 
HEADS—Medium large, attractive and oval formed; solid, and of generally 
very fine quality. 
MAY KING w.s. HM LARPE 61 
An early butterhead lettuce, for forcing under glass. Makes a fine outdoor 
variety for a first early spring planting. 
HEADS—Small, short, round, and compact, light green outer leaves tinged 
with ‘red, with inner part of head creamy yellow and delicately
