I oz. to 3000 plants. 

 3 lbs. to an acre.

 hot-bed or the open 

 ground during April 

 and May for summer 

 supply. Plants may 

 be grown on a tem- 

 porary bed and trans- 

 planted ; or the seed 

 may be sown where

 ture. For a permar ^' 

 ent bed, select ric

There is no handsomer or 

 Cabbage Lettuce in cultivation — in fact, it 

 is strikingly beautiful. The large, curlv 

 leaves which cover the outside of the head 

 are of a bright, light green. The unusually 

 solidity of the heads is insured by the large 

 white main ribs of the leaves, each of 

 which cmAing strorAy into the centre, 

 acts like Wtruss, maWng it impossible for 

 the leaves to open outward and expose the 

 centre, which consequently, is thoroughly 

 blanched. It matters not whether in the 

 eaily spring or the hottest days of summer, 

 the leaves are always crisp and tender.
