Leaves medium sized, of light, yellowish green color, much crimped and frilled,"^thin, but of very upright growth ; forms a fair sized but loose head ; crisp, tender and of good qualitv. Owing to its upright habit it may be planted very closely. It is of extremely rapid growth ; very little liable to rot; will stand, without spoiling, a week to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains its freshness a long time after cut- ting. These qualities have enabled the market gardeners about Grand Rapids, Mich., to ship this lettuce to Cincinnati and New York, and dispose of it at profitable figures over all com- petitors.
