GROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a new and distinctive Iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) variety designated 50-0301019-B. All publications cited in this application are herein incorporated by reference. There are numerous steps in the development of any novel, desirable plant germplasm. Plant breeding begins with the analysis and definition of problems and weaknesses of the current germplasm, the establishment of program goals, and thedefinition of specific breeding objectives. The next step is selection of germplasm that possess the traits to meet the program goals. The goal is to combine in a single variety or hybrid an improved combination of desirable traits from the parentalgermplasm. These important traits may include increased head size and weight, higher seed yield, improved color, resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to drought and heat, and better agronomic quality. Practically speaking, all cultivated forms of lettuce belong to the highly p
