Tall Oaks Mix
When oaks are crossed by romaines, they can develop some big and upright attitudes, and very fancy ears. This genetic family has terrific traits from ‘Crisp Mint’ romaine, including a slightly savoyed texture, crunchy midribs, clear green color and sweet taste. Some of these have long terminal leaf lobes that remind me of elf ears. pricing and more

Morton's Secret Lettuce Mix 2021
NEW FOR 2021! I reached back in time this year to grow out a cross of some olde and favorite varieties, ‘Blush Butter Cos’ X ‘Hyper Red Rumple Waved.’ These are truly of a different era, a project I set aside in the heat of other chases. Great taste and color in short romaine heads. There are also crosses of ‘Lotus’ and ‘Manoa’ X “Pointed Red To Heart,” and the next generation of ‘Red Bal... pricing and more

The darkest red oak from the '80s paired up with the darkest savoyed leaf from 20 years later...'Mascara' x 'Pinot.' What took so long?

Headhunter Mix
NEW FOR 2021! I’m looking for new talent in “being a crisphead.” The crisphead lettuce has endured a lot of abuse for about a half century now on account of “iceberg syndrome,” the notion that head lettuce has nothing but crunch and water to offer. In reality, that was just one kind of crisphead
grown in one kind of environment. The realm of crisp-head possibilities is much wider than that, and l... pricing and more
