Batavian
Also called Summer Crisp or French Crisp, Batavians combine the crispness and heat tolerance of Iceberg with the open habit, sweetness and tenderness of leaf types. Vigorous growth, large stature, great field holding, slow bolting and wonderful flavor make this class an excellent summer harvest choice in the fluctuant northeastern climate. Good hot-weather germination.
