HEAD
Yellow-green crisphead with purple spotting on leaves and light purple blush on outer leaves. Wonderful crisp texture! Leaves still smooth and buttery, not astringent or bitter. Some variation in variety as this is an old family heirloom. Plants form nice circular heads or romaine shapes with stiff upright leaves. Undulated leaf margins. Large plants measure 9-15" tall and 15-19" in diameter when grown on Heritage Farm in 2018. White seeded. Donated to SSE by Heinz Neunteufl (AUST NE H) who began listing this variety in the 1995 SSE Yearbook Exchange. He indicated it's been in his family since 1894. SSE Accession # 112372
