617 Giant White Cos t Carters. —This remarkably fine Lettuce 
becomes more popular every season, and is without doubt the 
best and finest flavoured Cos Lettuce in cultivation. Owing to 
the self-folding habit it possesses, no tying is required. The 
heads are verv solid and crisp eating. It does not run to seed as 
quickly as other Cos varieties. 71 First Prizes reported by 
customers during last season. Some remarkable specimens were 
greatly admired in the following exhibits of Carters Vegetables 
during 1921 : awarded 4 Gold Medals and 2 Challenge Cups at 
Bournemouth, Ipswich, Portsmouth, and Birmingham. ( See
