COS or ROMAINE 



All cos varieties should be planted for late summer or early fall use, when they form firm nicely 

 folded heads. If they come to maturity in the heat of summer the flower stalks develop before the 

 head is well form.ed. Cos varieties are distinct from other varieties of lettuce and on account of the 

 thick leaves and the thick brittle midrib, are sometimes called celery lettuce. Cos lettuce is very 

 popular and of superior quality.
