Winter Marvel – 52 days. This old European variety is our farm favourite! Large fancy light green butterhead recommended for fall production and overwintering. Grows rapidly, but bolts easily in heat…so we let it go to seed, save the seed, plus it self seeds each year for early lettuce in the greenhouse and outside. A real gem! 300 seeds per packet.

Buttercross

Winter Density –  28 days baby, 60 days. French heirloom from 19th C. Don’t let the name fool you, this is an all-season lettuce…heat & frost resistant but won’t germinate if sown in the heat, so start in trays. Thick tender dark green leaves make superb eating. Not sure if it is a bibb or a romaine? Starts out looking like a bibb then wrapper leaves form folding tightly, forming a head like a romaine when mature. Combines the substance of a romaine with the tender succulence of bibb. 300 seeds per packet.

Cold (for spring & fall)

Dixter – 55 days. Dark burgundy with lime green splotches & pink stems. Very longstanding & excellent variety with tall, cylindrical tight heads.


Mayan Jaguar – 51 days. Fierce colors & snarly crunch. This (Frank Morton) beauty has mottled maroon spots on green ruffled leaves, not one the same as another. Great flavour, sweet juicy veins, blushed pink hearts and that great romaine crunch. Cold hardy, so great for spring salad or mesclun, not good in heat. 300 seeds per packet.


Parris Island -70 days.  Super uniform, upright green leaves, tender crisp & scrumptious. Good for baby leaf. Medium resistance to bolting. For spring & fall. 300 seeds per packet.
