EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



LETTUCE. 



5 GEORGE v.. A. 1915 



Twenty strains and varieties of lettuce were tested. In this district, the Cos 

 rarieties are hardly known, whilst the curled ones are losing popularity all the time 

 except for forcing in winter; the " head " or " cabbage " sorts are demanded, the butter 

 sub-classes bringing a better price than the crisp ones. It is interesting to note that 

 our strain of Victoria was surpassed by none for yield. Viotoria and All Heart seem 

 to catch our markets well, and our work, with the first named, consists in selecting 

 plants which are late in coming to seed.
