Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce and by making successive 
sowings you can have a supply of lettuce throughout the season. The loose leaf varieties may be thinned 
to four to six inches when they come up and then every other one taken out and used as they get 
larger. Thin the heading varieties 12-18 inches apart in the row while the plants are still small. Be 
sure to give them plenty of room or they will not make heads. 
‘“‘Iceberg’’ Lettuce is a general term used by growers, shippers and merchants for many kinds of 
crisp-heading lettuce and does not mean any particular variety. This year we offer the foHowing 
excellent Iceberg lettuce varieties: Pennlake, Cornell 456, Imperial 44, Great Lakes and Premier 
Great Lakes. 
HEADING VARIETIES 
533 PENNLAKE. Hard Heading Early Iceberg. 
77 days. Upland growers are turning to Pennlake in preference to all others for their early crops. 
Its uniform, attractive heads are better than anything in its class, good sized, compact and of choice 
quality. The leaves are crisp and dark green, moderately blistered and fringed at the edges. They 
fold over tightly to make firm handsome heads that have considerable resistance to tip-burn. 
Developed by Prof. M. T. Lewis of Penn State College, Pennlake forms slightly flattened heads 
that mature evenly and are ready to cut very early. They have a remarkably fine quality and texture. 
We can recommend this as an outstanding variety.

520 GREAT LAKES. The Best Heading Kind. 
82 days. This is now the favorite Iceberg lettuce all over the country and is still the best for most 
growers. It stands a long time without bolting and is so resistant to tip-burn that the heads remain 
in fine condition even in hot weather. 
The plants are large and vigorous, dark green in color and the fringed leaves wrap over very tightly 
making solid compact heads of unusual crispness. Great Lakes is an ideal summer lettuce for home 
gardeners and market growers alike, for it makes hard, clean heads under almost all conditions. They 
mature about a week after Pennlake. Be sure to give the plants plenty of room—thin to at least 14 
inches apart, and they will make the kind of heads that lettuce growers want.

534 PREMIER GREAT LAKES. Large Early Heads. 81 days. This refined, uniform strain of Great 
Lakes is used by many upland growers. A little earlier but not as tip-burn resistant as Great Lakes, 
it has a smoother leaf and heads evenly. Selected by Prof. Lewis at Penn State College for earliness,

508 CORNELL 456. Heat-Resistant. For Muck and Upland. 
76 days. By far the best variety for growing on muck in the East, this 
tip-burn resistant lettuce can be grown throughout the season from 
early to late. It is extremely slow to bolt and makes fine clean hard 
heads even in the summer months. Earlier than Great Lakes, it is a 
sure-heading medium-sized type, with an attractive light green color 
and fine quality. 
Cornell 456 also does very well on upland and we highly recom- 
mend it for both home and commercial use. The heavily crumpled 
leaves form solid crisp heads even under adverse conditions, making 
it one of the easiest Iceberg types to grow. We are proud of our stock 
of this lettuce, for it is the true original type developed at Cornell 
University, and its performance is unsurpassed.

525 IMPERIAL 44. Fine Quality Head Lettuce for Spring or Fall. 76 
days. This favorite ‘“‘Iceberg’’ type has tender, crumpled leaves, not as 
solid or as coarsely ribbed as the Great Lakes strains and is preferred by 
many people. It will not withstand as much summer heat but for early 
spring or fall crop it is still excellent, especially for home use. It is 
early and makes compact well-formed heads of medium to large size 
and slightly flattened shape. The tightly folded hearts blanch well and 
are most delicious. Uniform and a sure header, it is a valuable, high 
quality variety.

heading types, and they form excellent tightly folded heads of the 
most delicious quality and flavor. This variety heads well under all Cornell 456
