Lettuce. 



Thirty- nine stocks of Lettuce were received for growing in the salad 

 trial, all of which were sown in cold frames on March 15, and while the 

 plants were very small they were transplanted on to a warm border 

 that had been well manured. All the stocks made excellent growth, in 

 spite of the drought, and were remarkably true. The Committee 

 examined the collection on two occasions, viz. June 20 and July 5, 



1. Balloon (Hurst), A.M. August 13, 1895. — Foliage dark green, large, 

 solid, self-hearting, compact, crisp, and of good flavour. Stood the-
