Cos Lettuce 
( Romaine) Cos 
Lettuce is dis¬ 
tinct in having 
long, narrow, spoon-shaped leaves, folding 
into loose, sugar-loaf shaped heads which 
blanch better by having the outer leaves 
drawn about them and tied. Sow seed early 
in spring in rich, well prepared soil, in rows 
eighteen inches apart, covering one-half inch 
deep. When plants have two or three leaves 
thin to three or four inches apart. As the 
plants begin to crowd thin and use as re¬ 
quired. If large heads are desired plants 
should be thinned ten to twelve inches apart.
