Ferry’s Early Prize Head 
Cos Lettuce 
(liomaine) This 
kind of lettuce 
is distinguished 
by its long, narrow, spoon-shaped leaves, fold ing 
into loose, sugar-loaf shaped heads which 
blanch better by having the outer leaves 
drawn about them and tied. The quality is 
distinct from that of the Cabbage Lettuces and 
by many is considered very superior. 
Sow seed early in spring in rich, well 
prepared soil, in rows eighteen inches apart, 
covering one-lmlf inch deep. When plants 
have two or three leaves thin t<> three or 
four inches apart. As the plants begin to 
crowd thin and use as required. If large 
heads are desired plants should be thinned 
ten to twelve inches apart.

forms a large light green plant with a well 
folded head of very good quality. The mid¬ 
ribs are white and very prominent. The inner

green, and are decidedly firm and sweet. This 
is considered the most reliable of the Cos or

gardeners’ use in this country. Pkt. 5c;
