This all-American Gold Medal winner. Salad Bowl Lettuce is large, medium-green, slow bolting, non-heading and decidedly tender.

Sow seeds thinly from spring to mid-summer, 6mm deep in drills 23cm apart. A moist well-drained fertile soil which has had plenty of compost dug in the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it is best to water the soil before sowing and sow during the early afternoon. Thin out gradually to 23cm apart.
