Cornell 456 
Heading Varieties 
* BIG BOSTON—75 days. Market and home garden variety. 
Butterhead type with light green leaves fringed with brown 
and creamy white heart. Leaves smooth, forming a loose head. 
PREMIER GREAT LAKES—80 days. A new early strain of Great 
Lakes selected by Penn State Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Heads are solid, outer leaves are somewhat flattened, smooth, 
and without ruffed margins. Recommended for upland grow- 
ing, as an early maturing crop, either transplanted or seeded. 
Worthy of trial—as an early crop also as a summer crop. 
IMPERIAL 44 — 82 days. Market garden variety. Used mostly 
for late crop on muck soil, since it is not resistant to tip-burn, 
but stands up well in cold weather. 
PROGRESS—82 days. Market variety for upland soil. A new 
crisp head variety which has shown promise in New Jersey 
and should be adapted to Long Island upland soils. It is an 
early, dark green, thick leaved, heavily savoyed, tip-burn re- 
sistant of good flavor and high quality. It is almost the same 
season of maturity as Imperial 44, but darker green—more 
resistant to tip-burn and superior in quality. 
* CORNELL 456—85 days. Market and home garden variety. 
Developed at Cornell for New York State use. Used for both 
early and fall crop on muck or upland soil. Heads medium 
size, very solid, and resistant to tip-burn. 
GREAT LAKES—88 days. Market and home garden variety. A 
few days later and slightly larger than Cornell 456. Heads 
solid with large frame and heavily ribbed. Resistant to tip- 
burn. 
PENNLAKE—838 to 90 days. Developed by the Penn State Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station by crossing Great Lakes with Im- 
perial 847. This variety combines the solidity and tip-burn 
resistance of Great Lakes with the larger head size of Imperial 
847. Heads are of good quality, very compact and have a 
noticeable extension of green coloring into the interior. Recom- 
mended as an early crop, either from plants started in green- 
house or seeded directly in the field, or as a fall crop. 
COS OR ROMAINE 
* TRIANON COS—70 days. (White Paris) Home and market 
garden variety. Used for summer salad. Leaves narrow, 
flattened, forming a loose head. Interior leaves whitish green. 
* Varieties adapted to home garden where high quality is most important.
