| Lettuce: Cos/Romaine |
These are typically upright growers, often folding their leaves together to form a blanched long-hearted head at maturity. Classic cos and romaine types have entire (non-lobed) leaves with a crisp texture, making them popular for salad mix and essential to Caesar salad. These lines have been blurred in varieties that come from crosses to the other types, sometimes lending interesting cos traits to butters, oaks, or crispleaf types.

Brown Golding
This is our least appreciated, best flavored lettuce. In replicated studies over two years that included blind taste tests by 28 teenage Botany students, 80% rated this (unfortunately named) variety as “sweet,” and less than 10% rated it bitter. None of t... pricing and more

Dark Green Romaine
A classic heirloom within its type, and another piece of the Abundant Life Seed collection. Head closed at the top, blanching the heart, but not twisted as in Brown Golding. The darker green leaves seem to go with its especially sweet flavor. One of the b... pricing and more

Devils Tongue
A dark red spring lettuce with tapered cos-like leaves forming loose heads at maturity. Very buttery texture and thick leaves. Good reports from Texas to the Olympic Peninsula. This is not a pure-line variety, as evidenced by its black and white seeds, bu... pricing and more

Olga
She’s a big blonde-green beauty with broadly rumpled leaves holding a big blanched heart. Kind of soft for a romaine; a little butter in her background, I’d bet. Limited seed this year. pricing and more

Outredgeous
This variety is so red that botany students didn’t recognize it as lettuce when they saw it in our breeding nursery back in ‘98, though a crowd did gather to discuss what it might be. A nice upright cut salad variety, forms a loose romaine head at maturit... pricing and more

Outstanding
It had to happen; a contender arises to challenge its parentage. This selection came out of our 2003 crop for ‘Outredgeous’, chosen for being a little bigger, tighter, and later to bolt than the rest of the patch. After three more generations of selection... pricing and more

Plato II
Such a Romaine. Why did Seminis let this go? We’ll ask our agents, but meanwhile, we’ll thank New York farmer Sandy Arnold for passing us the remnants of her packet to get this under way again. A real standout in our lettuce disease trials, resisting tipb... pricing and more

Winter Density
A wonderful workhorse of a lettuce, this dark green, compact, short leaf cos is a reliable cold season crop, and should work well in the unheated winter greenhouse systems like that worked out by Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch in Maine. The leaves are... pricing and more
