GREAT LAKES (Crisphead ) HMS 83

even under fairly adverse conditions. This fine, crisp-heading variety of the Imperial 
group was developed cooperatively by the USDA and Michigan State College. White 
seed. All America Selections Bronze Medal 1943. 
HEADS—Large, solid, crisp and fairly tender. Good shipping quality. Dark green 
outer leaves are well folded and ribby. 
HANSON (Crisphead ) HM 82 
An old standard, medium late summer heading variety with good flavor and quality.

ICEBERG (Crisphead ) H 82

frilled, light green. Interior is white, crisp, tender and sweet. Margins

twist, making a solid, attractive head.

other areas, and rather widely adapted, although largely replaced by Great Lakes 
strains. Black seed. 
HEADS—Medium large, attractive, and oval shaped. Solid, and of generally good 
quality. 
MAY KING (Butterhead ) HM 61
