HEAD LETTUCE — Continued 
PENNLAKE — A cross between Great Lakes 
and Imperial 847. Large, solid heads of better 
quality than Great Lakes. Crisp, dark green fo- 
liage, showing more refinement than the original 
Great Lakes and without the ribbiness of that 
variety. Valuable for early spring and late sum- 
mer plantings but not best suited for cutting in 
hot summer weather. A splendid variety for home 
and markets. Pkt. 15¢; % oz. 45c; oz. 75¢; 
1% |b. $1.75; Ib. $4.25. 
EARLY GREAT LAKES — This fine new 
strain is earlier and more uniform than the 
original Great Lakes. It is more refined with 
less fringes and the quality is better. In size, 
about the same as the regular Great Lakes, but 
equally resistant to heat and tip-burn. The under- 
side leaves are darker green, making them more 
attractive when packed. It has shown up exceed- 
ingly well for spring, summer and fall cutting. 
The solid heads are brittle and sweet. Market 
gardeners have tested it out and are enthusiastic 
about it. Pkt. 15¢; 12 oz. 45c; oz. 75c; 4 Ib. $1.75; 
Ib. $4.50. 
GREAT LAKES (R Strain) — A large, sure 
heading variety exceedingly resistant to warm 
weather. Especially valuable on higher soil and 
in dry weather conditions. What chiefly dis- 
tinguishes Great Lakes from other varieties of 
the Imperial type is its increased resistance to 
tip-burn injury and great ability to produce solid 
heads under adverse conditions. The leaves are 
large, relatively thick, folding well over the heads 
so that when unwrapped they give large sections 
desirable for salad. Large solid heads of fine 
quality, and also very sure heading. It is adapt- 
able for good heads almost nation-wide. This has 
also proved excellent for the early fall crops. 
Pkt. 15c; 142 oz. 40c; oz. 75c; %4 Ib. $1.75;
