LETTUCE— Cos Varieties. 
Cultivation. — It is often necessary that a praotically continuous supply of Lettuoes should be main- 
tained throughout the year, and by a succession of sowings this may be done. For the earliest erop the 
seed should be town in boxes under glass during January, and when big enough to handle priek out 
the plants about three inohes apart into frames, there to be hardened off ready for planting out in 
a south border when the weather permits. Early in March a sowing may be made out of doors, 
preferably on a south border. Sow the seeds in drills, cover lightly with soil and proteot from tbo 
birds if possible ; when the plants are big enough priok thorn out six inches apart. By cutting 
some of the plants early, space will bo left which will allow the remainder to develop. 
A succession of sowings may be made until the beginning of September, and the plants which are to 
stand the Winter should be finally pricked out in Ootober, the most sheltered position in the garden 
'being ehosen. In a severe Winter it will be found necessary to give some protection to these plants ; 
a slight oovering of straw or braoken being suitable. To secure crispness and sucoulence in Lettuces, 
liberal supplies of water should be given, and the hoe kept going regularly between the rows. 
For Spring and Summer use we recommend in the Cos varieties, ‘‘Daniels’ Giant White” and 
“ Daniels’ AU Heart ” ; in the Cabbage varieties, “ Daniels’ Queen ol Summer ” and “ Daniels’ 
Continuity,” the latter is a kind whioh very rarely runs to seed even in the hottest weather. For 
Autumn and Winter work “Daniels’ Solid Brown” and “Daniels’ Green Winter,” both very hardy 
Cos Lettuces, and “AU the Year Round” and “Large White Winter,” and “Daniels’ Mammoth 
Green” in Cabbage Lettuces, are to our mind the pick of the List.
