All Cream Lettuce, Organic

The Seed Savers Exchange - Look no further than the historic John A Salzer Seed Company’s 1901 catalog for a detailed description of this fast-growing butterhead lettuce: “This remarkable lettuce does not head but makes a loose bunch of leaves of superlatively fine quality. ...It forms a beautiful plant; the leaves grow upright, the upper part of the outer leaves turning outward very gracefully. The edges of the outer leaves are of a glossy, reddish bronze, very ornamental and fresh in appearance; within, the leaves are almost white and wonderfully crisp and tender.” 40-50 days.
