About Tennis Ball

(Lactuca sativa) Bibb/Butterhead. The petite, rather loose heads of this Bibb (butterhead) type are 4 to 6 inches in diameter. This variety is documented to have been grown at Monticello by Thomas Jefferson, who noted: "it does not require so much care and attention" as other types. We offer the correct, black-seeded original strain. Listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, and beloved by many about a century ago.
