Iceberg Lettuce Lettuce
This variety resembles New York Special but does not form so solid a head. Iceberg is considered a better all seasons' lettuce because it will stand warmer weather than New York. If planted later than March be sure to select dark, heavy soil, because the heat reflected by light, sandy soil will burn the plants. The heads are large, tender, and of excellent flavor. Price-(5c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (60c per ¼ lb.) ($2.00 per lb.) ($1.85 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) prepaid. Wholesale prices-$1.70 per lb. In 100-lb. Lots) ($1.60 per lb. In 500-lb. Lots) not prepaid.
