Speckled Troutback Lettuce Rises in Maine

"The origins of the Speckled Lettuce date back to 1660 in Holland.  From Holland, the lettuce was brought to Germany, where it was widely .  Finally in the late 1790s the Speckled lettuce was brought to North America, first arriving in Waterloo County, Ontario.  The name, Speckled lettuce, comes from the German Forellenschluss, which means “speckled like a trout”.
