1840 ; and in March, 1850, the 

 editor of the Gardeners' Chro- 

 nicle, tn a critique on Lettuces, 

 says of the first of these .* — 

 "This is the very beet Cos 

 Lettuce, very large, light 

 green, leaves hooded at the 

 top, so that they close in with- 

 out tying, blanching white, 

 crisp, so excellent, that one 

 would suppose no higher de- 

 gree of perfection could be 

 attained, as regards a sum- 

 mer Lettuce." And of the 

 other two, he further says, 

 " Sutton's Superb Green 

 Cos : this very inucU resem- 

 bles the preceding, but is of a 

 darker green, and hardier, 

 therefore is preferable for 

 sowing early in spring, and 

 also f >r autumn use ; in warm, 

 sheltered situations, it will 

 stand the winter, if the latter 

 prove mild. For the genera 

 lity of winters, however, a 

 hardier Cos is required ; such 

 is the following— Sotton's 

 Berkshire Brown Cos : this 

 is the best Cos for standing 

 the winter ; it is large, and of 

 good quality, blanching very 

 crisp ; therefore its brown out- 

 side should not be considered 

 objectionable,"
