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. I have not grown this variety to seed since 1982, when it was the first plant I ever collected seed from. I discovered my first accidental lettuce cross in this variety, which became the parentage for my first farm-bred varieties, including â??Antaresâ?? and â??Oaky Red Splash.â??
