HEAD LETTUCE 
One ounce for 2500 plants; 
2 pounds per acre 
Bibb. Small, dark green, smooth, tender 
heads; cream-yellow hearts in 57 days. 
Great Lakes XXX. Here is a greatly im- 
proved strain of this well known variety. 
It is well worth the slightly higher seed 
cost as the crop cuts heavier having a 
much greater number of No. 1 heads. 
Great Lakes. With large leaves and heavy 
midribs, these firm heads, ready in about 
82 days are larger than No. 456. With- 
stands heat and sun, is slow to go to seed 
and very resistant to tip-burn. It is also 
fine for cool weather. Yields a lot better 
on upland soil than on heavy, muck soil. 
Pennlake. This forms hard, crisp heads, 
earlier than No. 456 and of better quality. 
Not quite as large as Great Lakes, they 
are even, compact, with smooth, dark 
green leaves and less prominent ribs. Ma- 
turing all at one time, they cut a very high 
percentage. Unequaled for upland crop. 
Premier Great Lakes. Selected for smooth- 
ness of leaf, lack of ribbiness, slow bolting 
and uniformity. Of same color, size and 
solidity as Great Lakes but 8 days earlier. 
Imperial No. 44. For muck soils. The com- 
pact medium-sized plants, in 85 days, form 
very firm, medium-large uniform heads. 
Imperial (Cornell) No. 456. With heavily 
serrated, mid-green leaves, this forms 
heads of same size as Imperial No. 847, 
firm and hard during hot weather and re- 
sistant to tip-burn. Excellent for early 
and main crop, on upland and muck soils. 
Imperial No. 847. The large-framed plants 
have large, rounded, medium-green heads 
with abundant wrapper leaves. Fine for 
freld-drilled summer and fall crop, as well 
as spring transplanted crop. Recommended 
especially for growing on upland soil. 
New York No. 55. Earliest New York with 
deep, round medium green, crisp heads, 
closely formed at the base and free from 
large, base leaf-ribs. Heads are one-fifth 
smaller than Imperial No. 847
