Cos or Romaine Varieties 



TRIANON COS. Trianon is by far the best of the self-folding Cos or Romaine varieties. 

 The long spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped heads. This lettuce may be used 

 to advantage where the heading varieties do not succeed because almost the entire 

 plant is tender, palatable, and of the finest flavor.
