Burpee’s Crisp-Head LETTUCE —s—™ 
Crisp-head lettuce forms well-folded heads 
of crisp, brittle texture and, where the plants 
are grown singly at a suitable distance apart, 
they make very large, round, firm heads 
which are blanched silvery white or creamy 
yellow in the center. Will stand more heat 
than the butterheads.
