Not illustrated. 1885 Excerpt: ...very soon to become crimped and rumpled, and plants which have not made a dozen leaves will sometimes exhibit the rudiments of a head. The full-grown plant is small and thick-set, about 6 inches in diameter, and roundish in its outlines. Outer leaves roundish and partially crimped, with edges almost entire, but very much folded and sinuated; head small, but rather compact, of a light pale, almost yellowish green, and formed of leaves which are much more crimped and sinuated than the outer ones. This variety, notwithstanding its small size, is a very productive one. It grows rapidly, keeps the head well, and may be planted very close.

There is another form of White-seeded Tennis-ball named Laitue Gotte Doree, or L. Gotte Jaune d'Or (the Golden Tennis-ball), which is very like the variety next described, but runs to seed sooner. Spring Black-seeded Cabbage Lettuce (Laitue Gotte a Graine Noire).--The young plant differs very little from that of the preceding variety, except that its leaves are more crimped and folded. The fullgrown plant is smaller than that of the preceding kind, and has the head flattened and never very firm. In all other respects it is exceedingly like it, and is grown in the same way. Tom Thumb Lettuce (Laitue Gotte Lente a Monter).--The leaves of the young plant are of a rather dark, clear-green colour, roundish, entire, ...
