VEGETABLE SEEDS 

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.

For a succession sow seeds of Midseason Butterheads, Crispheads, and Cos Lettuces 
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.

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 this variety is most 
descriptive, because the

spring variety. The 
heads are an appetizing
