early planting in head lettuce growing sections where maturing period runs into warm 
weather. White seed.

green. Slightly earlier than regular New York. 
43 H (Loose Leaved) OAK LEAF 
A distinct lettuce with smooth but deeply lobed leaves which resemble the leaves of an 
oak tree. An old favorite in home gardens, as it shows good tolerance of hot weather. 
White seed.

and tender. Forms an attractive central rosette.

tics it is similar to Dark Green Cos, with the addition of better uniformity. White seed.

slightly crumpled, with crisp, lighter green interior.
