below, veins rather conspicuous. 
Mature plant, spreading, about ten inches in diameter; outer leaves

ted with chocolate brown ; forms a rather loose and poorly defined

‘No lettuce is superior to this forsummerandautumn. It forms 
promptly, holds its head well, and endures the cold well. During 
the latter part of Summer and the entire Autumn this variety fur- 
nishes more than half of the head lettuce that is carried to the 
Paris market.” Vil. 
‘“Must be classed as one of the best.” Burr.

Very distinct; young plant pale yellowish green, leaves deeply cut, 
the edges of the pointed lobes folding together below, causing the 
apexes to point upward; midribs broad at the base, dividing into very 
numerous translucent veins. 
Mature plant about eight inches in diameter; forms a compact, 
well defined, pointed head three inches in diameter; leaves neither 
puffed nor blistered; stem tall, smooth, paniculate, stem leaves deep- 
ly dentate to the top, ears long, narrow, sharply pointed; yields very 
little seed, many plants forming no flower stalk; seeds black. 
Quite ornamental, but of little value for the table, owing to its 
small size, lateness and inferior quality.
