Tennis Ball, Lettuce,

Tennis Ball was among Thomas Jefferson's favorite lettuce varieties. He noted that "it does not require so much care and attention" as other types. Rather, loose heads are petite, 4-6 inches in diameter, and are Bibb or Butterhead type. It used to be pickled in brine and served as a side dish. The taste and texture of this lettuce were out of this world! The Tennis Ball is distinctive for its delicate, pale-green leaves forming a loosehead. Compact heads work well planted close together in tighter spaces. Black-seeded. Butterhead, 50 days.
