Virkler

Green butterhead. Light red tinge along leaf margins. Standard flavor; tender, crisp leaves. This lettuce came to SSE through Margaret Church (MI CH M) while she was living in New York state. Margaret received the variety in 1991 from Lois (Virkler) Schamback (1919-2005) of Beaver Falls, NY. It was originally brought to the U.S. circa 1839 from Alsace-Lorraine when Lois' family immigrated. SSE Accession # 111847
