New York (Wonderful or Los Angeles
The most popular variety grown and equally good for market or home garden. It produces immense, solid, brittle heads of splendid flavor with deep green exterior leaves while the interior leaves blanch very white. During the winter this sort is shipped to our markets from California but in the summer great quantities are shipped East from Oregon and Washington. Our strain of seed produces large firm heads, very uniform and with darker green leaves than that usually offered. Market gardeners are enthusiastic about our strain and we sell hundreds of pounds annually. In growing lettuce beware of poor seed as it often means crop failure. Many growers prefer 2 year old seed so we list both one year and 2 year. Hundreds of acres are grown from our seed each year. 1 year seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., 80c; lb., $2.50. 2 year seed, pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50
