Lettuce. 
Cultivation. — Of Lettuces, we give particular attention to the growth and selection of two varieties, viz., Daniels’ Giant 
Cos and a capital stock of Daniels’ Continuity. The former is the largest Lettuce grown, and very fine for exhibition, being 
at the same time tender and crisp, and requires no tying. The best Cabbage Lettuce is Daniels’ Continuity, which will be found 
invaluable for Summer use, as it will withstand dry seasons, and continue fit for use after all other kinds have run to seed. 
Lettuces are especially partial to an open, deeply worked, and enriched soil, and to an abundant supply of moisture throughout 
their whole growth. Not only is this necessary to insure a free growth apart from all tendencies to “bolt” or run to seed; 
but so also is it to ensure such an amount of crispness and natural succulency as alone constitute the higher merits of this important 
salad plant. Sowings should be made upon a slight bottom-heat, or in boxes, &c., early in February. Make other sowings to 
follow these during the mouth of March and again early in April. Sow this time upon warm sunn) - sites, and transplant a portion of 
the produce of each sowing only, leaving a sufficient number in the seed beds, and properly thinned, to ensure a supply thereon. 
For permanent Summer crops sow again during May and June, and this time upon cool open airy quarters. Sow the seed in 
drill rows, and so soon as the seedlings are large enough don’t transplant them at this date, but thin out and throw away all but 
the strongest plants. Too much or too frequent waterings cannot be given them during the hot and arid Summer months. 
Make a somewhat large sowing or two during the month of July; this for permanent Autumn and Winter uses. The seedlings 
may be transplanted when the produce of these sowings are thinned out, as by so doing they succeed those which have been 
permitted to stand. Other sowings should again be made on or about August 11th and 25th, September 5th and 20th, which are 
likewise to be thinned out and transplanted as necessary for Winter and early Spring supply. Cabbage Lettuces sow in May and 
August.

DANIELS’ GOLDEN SUMMER ' 
(new). This is quite distinct from Butter- 
cup, being more of a bronzy yellow on tile 
outside. The large, firm, solid heads when cut 
open, are nearly white inside, and exceedingly 
tender and juicy. This is one of the best 
Summer Lettuces ever introduced, as it will 
stand a long time without running to seed ... 1 0

DANIELS’ ENDIVE-LEAVED 
(new). We have much pleasure in introducing 
this remarkable Lettuce to our customers. The 
leaves are of a bright rich green colour, and 
prettily fringed, whilst unlike most of its 
class, it has a firm crisp head of fine flavour, 
and it is, we should think, one of the most 
useful Lettuces for adding variety to the 
salad bowl, on account of its Endive-like 
foliage ... ... ... ... 1 0

EVIDENCE OF QUALITY. 
“I consider your ‘ Continuity’ one of the finest Cabbage Lettuces I have over seen. The solid heads are perfection of what a Lettuce should be. 
They are now solid halls, when others sown at the same time are long since gone to seed. I shall certainly grow no other Cabbage Lettuce in future.' — 
Mr. W. M. GEDDES, Tlmmipton. 
“ Your Seeds did well at our Show last September. Your Giant White Cos Lettuce took all the Prizes there were to be taken, two Firsts, two 
Seconds, and two Thirds.”— Mr. WILLIAM ROGERS, Whissendine.
