Show SUPERIOR LETTUCE Slobolt lettuce, developed by the USDA, is available for the first time to the gardener. Non-heading, longstanding long-standing Slobolt produces wrinkled, frilled, light green leaves. Plants are of moderate size. If the plants are set 10 to 12 inches apart and only basal leaves used, Slobolt lettuce may be harvested over a period of several weeks. Slobolt Slo-bolt makes a good fall crop from midsummer plantings. It produces usable leaves three weeks longer than many well-known commercial leaf lettuce varieties. It receives its name because it is slow to "bolt" seed stems in warm weather. |
