Bibb Lettuce

Bibb lettuce is believed to have originated in Frankfort, Kentucky between 1865 and 1870 by Major John “Jack” Bibb, an amateur horticulturist who grew this variety in a greenhouse in his yard. Around 1870, he began sharing his variety with the town’s people who coined it Bibb’s lettuce.  Similar to Butterhead lettuce but slightly smaller.  Jumbo pack contains 5 grams of seed, approximately 4,000 seeds.

Also known as Red Hubbard and Golden Warted Hubbard. Introduced in the late 1800's to the seed trade, the origin of this squash is unknown but was first sold by Storrs & Harrison Seed Company of Painesville, Ohio. It is possible the original seed stock was collected locally as was common by searching seedsmen in the 1800's. Fruits average 8-10 pounds. Stores well but best flavor is within 3 months of harvest. Fine grained flesh makes great pies, casseroles and soups. Excellent fall decoration too. 30 seed per pack.
