CABBAGE LETTUCE.— Coji^mued. 
Fhotographtd from Natitre and Copyrighttd by J. C. d** Co. 
Ccirters’ Harbinger Forcing. — Valuable on account of its extreme earliness. It 
is not a hearting variety, but being of quick growth produces a quantity of tender leaves 
which are so much in request for early salads. 
Price 6d. and is. per packet; is. 6d. per ounce. 
Carters’ Longstander, — A distinct and valuable variety of great size. From its 
peculiar habit of growth it is less liable to decay and damage than any other cabbage 
variety. 'I'he colour of the leaf is pale green, and of the most delicious flavour and 
tenderness. 
Price 6d. and is. per packet; is. gd, per ounce. 
Carters’ Endive-Leaved.— This Lettuce is quite distinct. Its leaves are deeply serrated tnd 
laciniated, which gives it the appearance of Endive — indeed, a prominent gardener suggested that it 
might be used in early summer calads, and few could tell but that it was Endive. 
Price 6d. and IS. per packet. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at the Experimental Grounds, 
says : — “ Leaves beautifully cut and divided ; a very handsome variety.” 
The Cultivation of the I.ettuce . — Sow in pans on a gentle heat in February, and prick out into a well- 
manured and warm border. Sow again during March in a protected situation out t f doors for early use, and in 
succession to the end of August for late crops. V'oung and tender plants may be grown in boxes or frames, and 
|)ulled and eaten when small ; in this form they make a delicate salad. Water liberally in dry and warm 
weather
