LETTUCE, COS, or CELERY 



(ROMAINE) 



Cos Lettuce, or 

 Romaine, as it is 

 frequently called 

 on some markets, 

 is not so generally 

 grown as it should 

 be in the United 

 -States. 



In the South, 

 Cos Lettuce suc- 

 ceeds best during 

 the early spring 

 months, or late in 

 the fall. 



172. Eclipse, 

 or Express. Very 

 early. The plants 

 are of stiff, erect, 

 compact growth, 

 and attain height 

 of about 6 inches. 

 The leaves fold so 

 neatly and tightly 

 as to make tying 

 u p unnecesary. 

 The head blanches 

 to an almost pure 

 white, and the 

 leaves are always 

 mild in flavor. Pkt. 

 ; lb. $1.25. 



Cos Lettuce. 

 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 35 cts, 



LEEK 



One ounce to sow a 

 Drill of 100 feet. 



CULTURE. The 



Leek is very hardy, 

 of easy culture, and 

 succeeds best in a 

 light soil. Sow early 

 in April in drills 1 

 foot apart and 1 inch 

 deep. When the 

 plants are 6 to 8 

 ins. high transplant 

 in a deep, rich soil 

 in rows 12 ins. apart 

 and 6 ins. in the 

 rows, as deep as 

 possible, so that the 

 neck may be covered 

 and blanched: draw 

 the earth to them as 

 they grow. The 

 seed may also be 

 sown in August or 

 September, and the 

 young plants trans- 

 spring. Broad London, or American Flag Leek. 



50. Extra Large Leek, it is the best. This mammoth 

 leek is not to be compared with the old kinds. It grows 

 much larger and is very handsome. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 

 20 cts.; 1^ lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.00. 



Broad London, or Large American Flag. a very

 $2.25.
