Differs little from the Berlin lettuce, except in the color of its 
seed. Young plant pale green, sometimes inclining to yellowish; 
leaves roundish or oval, sometimes obovate, apex retuse, surface much 
puffed, especially in the inner leaves, scarcely blistered. 
Mature plant compact, nine to twelve inches in diameter; forms a 
very compact, and clearly defined, roundish head about three inches 
in diameter, of which the leaves are very pale, almost whitish green; 
leaves about the head slightly spreading, strongly waved, the visible 
surface almost completely covered with rather large regular round- 
ish blisters; stem smooth, head paniculate; seeds white. 
One of the varieties most generally diffused. It is rather early, 
heads well in warm dry weather, is slow in running to seed, and of 
excellent quality. We regard it as one of the best for out door cul- 
tivation. |
