Cultivation.— It is often necessary that a practically continuous supply of Lettuces should be main- 
tained throughout the year, and by a succession of sowings this may be done. For the earliest crop the 
seed should be sown in boxes under glass during January, and when big enough to handle prick out the 
plants about three inches apart into frames, there to be hardened olf 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 protect from the birds if possiblo , 
when the plants are big enough prick them out six inches apart. By cutting some of the plants early , 
space will be left which will allow the remainder to develop. 
A succession of sowings may bo made until the beginning of September, and the plants which arc to 
stand the Winter should bo finally pricked out in October, the most sheltered position in the garden 
being chosen. In a severo Winter it will bo found necessary to give some protection to these plants ; 
a slight covering of straw or bracken being suitable. To secure crispness and succulence 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 All Heart ” ; 
in the Cabbage varieties, “Daniels’ Queen of Summer ” and “Daniels’ Continuity,” tEd latter is a kind 
which very rarely runs to seed oven in the hottest weather. For Autumn and Winter work Daniels 
Solid Brown ” and “ Daniels’ Green Winter,” both very hardy Cos Lettuces, and “All the Year Round ” 
and “ Large White Winter,” and “ Daniels’ Mammoth Green ” in Cabbage Lettuces, are to our mind the 
pick of the List.
