LETTUCES-Cos Varieties. 
DANIELS' GIANT WHITE COS LETTUCE. Reduced from o Photograph. 
Cultivation. — It is often necessary that a practically continuous supply of Lettuces should be main, 
tained throughout the year, and Jjy 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 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 
n south border. Sow the seeds in drills, cover lightly with soil and protect from the birds if possible : 
-when the plants are big enough prick them out six inches apart. By cutting some of the plants early 
spaco will be loft which will allow the remainder to develop. 
A succession of sowings may be made until tho beginning of September, and the plants which are to 
stand the Winter should be finally pricked out in October, the most sheltered position in the garden 
being chosen. In a severe Winter it will be 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 wator should bo given, and the hoe kept going regularly between the rows. For Spring, 
nml3umraer use we rocommcnd in the Cos varieties, “ Daniels’ Giant White ” and “Darnels’ All Heart ” ; 
in the Cabbage varieties, “Daniels’ Queen of Summer” and “Daniels’ Continuity,” the latter is a kind 
which very rarely runs to scod even in tho 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.
