Romaine or 
Cos Lettuce 
This type of Lettuce is very successful 
for growing during even the hot summer 
months when other kinds are bound to 
“shoot”? to seed. They require the same 
cultural treatment and produce nicely 
folded heads which have an appetizing 
piquant flavor.

in the open ground around middle of April. Lettuces must be thinned out to stand from 
6 to 10 inches apart in the row to head properly. During July again sow early Butterhead 
varieties for a fall supply. One ounce will produce about 3000 plants.

*“All Heart’’ 
The name of this 
splendid variety is most 
descriptive, because the 
few loose outer leaves 
enclose a head that is 
one large solid heart. 
While suitable for sum- 
mer use in cool sections, 
it is primarily an early 
spring variety. The 
heads are an appetizing 
yellowish green color, 
making it a most attrac- 
tive home garden vari- 
ety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
¢ Ib. 70c. 
These do not form heads but produce 
a thick mass of loose, brittle, tender leaves 
early in the season before the heading 
varieties are available. Also fine for the 
greenhouse during winter.

of the most popular “‘Loose Leaf’ sorts
