“Butterhead” lettuce grown today. The 
leaves are light green and smoother and more tender than the crisp 
heading types, and they form excellent tightly folded heads of the most 
delicious quality and flavor. This variety heads well under all conditions 
and is resistant to tipburn, making it very valuable for large growers 
on both muck and upland. It is also the best butterhead type for home 
gardens. Our strain is exceptionally sure heading and uniform, every 
plant making a fine firm head.
