Great Lakes 407

Crisphead. Not your fast food restaurant iceberg lettuce! Large, beautiful plants have dark green, obovate leaves with low blistering and a highly toothed, highly wavy margin. Leaves measure 7.8-11.5" long and 11-14.5" wide. Plants form a well-developed solid, circular head. Plants measure 7.5-9.5" tall and 17-18.5" in diameter. Plants did not bolt in 2015 when grown at Heritage Farm. White seeded. Winner of the SSE 2015 lettuce taste evaluation. Variety is sweet, incredibly crisp and juicy, with no bitterness. Leaves so big they would be perfect for lettuce wraps. This accession matches the description of Great Lakes 407 listed on pg 3 of Circular no 881 from 1945. SSE Accession # 111477
