Redder Ruffled Oak
One of our favorite old farm originals from our salad days at Shoulder to Shoulder Farm. We found Redder Ruffled Oak to be our most vigorous grower in cold spring soils, and frost resistant as well. The ruffle comes from a little ‘Lollo Rosso’ in its background, giving its oak leaves frilled edges and a somewhat blistered surface texture. pricing and more

Pinot

Oscarde
When GTF’s Joelene was told that Oscarde (her dead favorite darkest red oak) was set to be terminated from commerce, she took on her first personal quest to save a part of her genetic experience. She used the last of her seed to grow our planting stock, and fended off deer for two years to bring this seed crop to market. Turns out, it’s yet to be discontinued, but Wild Garden is glad to have ... pricing and more

Lollo di Vino
We first noticed this compact little “Lollo-type” leaf lettuce within the somewhat variable curls of our original ‘Merlot’ stock seed. The leaves are very dark purple, small and round with the characteristic hyper-crisped frilly margins of the finest Lollo lettuces, but it seems impervious to downy mildew. 125 years ago, these supercurled typ... pricing and more

Lollo Bozo

Green Salad Bowl
Lime green with deeply dissected ruffled oaky leaves that can form prodigious heads two feet across. This All American Selection winner from 1952, released by USDA, is a classic from the era of public crop breeding when big and productive meant beautiful.

Elf Ears Oak
NEW FOR 2017! This is a big upright oak, ice green with somewhat savoyed leaves that comes from 'Crisp Mint' romaine in the parentage.

Cracoviensis
An heirloom predating 1885, with an open head of elongate, slightly savoyed, purple-red tipped leaves. A fast vigorous plant well suited to quick cut salad. Makes a large loose head before bolting. Referred to by Vilmorin (1885) as “red celtuce,” implying that its large tender pink bolting stem may have been the heirloom intent of this variety. A recent letter from England confirms that this i... pricing and more
