Introduced in 1850, this favorite looseleaf lettuce has sweet, large, light- green, crumpled leaves. Inner leaves blanch almost white. Slow-bolting, never bitter, early and adaptable. Sow directly into soil as soon as it begins to warm, 6-8 weeks before danger of frost has passed. Seeds need light to germinate, so should be sown near soil surface. For earlier plants, start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Harvesting tips. Thin plants when they have 4 true leaves. Harvest outer leaves from young lettuce plants, entire head when mature.
