Lettuces; medium to large in size, of attractive appearance, having broad 
pale green leaves and a large, round, compactly formed head of delicious 
quality, crisp and of that buttery character so much liked. It may be 
grown in the open, spring, summer or fall, and is a great heat resister, pre¬ 
serving its freshness under trying conditions, and is slow in bolting to seed.
