CUX^TUBi:. — A salad plant which is very popular and much cultivated for the market 

 Principally for Summer use. It can be sown in drills a foot apart and when the plants

 and transplanted the same as Lettuce. When the leaves are large enough, say about 

 eight inches long, tie them up for blanching, to make them fit for table. This can only 

 be done in dry weather, otherwise the leaves are apt to rot. For Summer use do not sow
