tion in the midst of temperatures that were as high as 105, when other 
lettuce would not head. In our trial grounds in Portland, Great Lakes

this too highly as not only a summer lettuce that does not readily bolt, 
but as one of the very best year-round lettuces because of its crispness 
and fine flavor.
