Lettuce is represented by four distinct classes or types — by 
the thick-leaved, smooth-edged cabbage heading type; the curly 
ind thin-leaved, tight-heading, crisp type; the curly and thin- 
leaved bunching or non-heading type, and the Cos or celery type. 
There are early, medium early and late varieties of each type, 
as well as those especially adapted for greenhouse, hot-bed, 
winter, spring, summer and autumn u.ses. There is so great a 
lifference in localities in regard to the value of Lettuce, that a 
liform rule for cultuie cannot be adopted. For the ordinary 
..ouse garlen it is desirable to upe one variety of each type and 
several plantings should be male to secure a succession. The 
seed should be planted in rows eighteen inches apart, as early 
_s possible, and the young plants of cabbage varieties should 
l>e thinned to four inches apart. Varieties that do not head may 
be left quite thick and when fairly well grown those thinned 
out may be used.

HEADING VABIETIES.

now it is found in the gardens of nearly every up-to-date grow-

of early spring. Tne habit of growth is very compact and 
close; in fact the plant is about all head. Outer leaves light

flavor. Heads weigh from IZ to 10 ozs., and are so solid that 
they carry to marliet in perfect condition.

bright green, lightly tmged with brown on top of the head; 
leaves curled oti the edges.

crisp and tender and slow to run to seed; is tender at any 
stage of growth.

flavor; leaves curly, tipped reddish brown. A great favorite 
with all.
