IF YOU HAVEN’T PLANTED LANDRETHS’ SEEDS, ASK ONE WHO HAS 
LETTUCE—Continued 
Paris White Cos 
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE 
Cos originated on the Island of Cos near Malta, 
in the Mediterranean Sea. Both varieties 
were listed by us over 100 years ago 
Green Cos—65 Days 
White Seed. Americans familiar with European 
travel have been delighted with the flavor of the long, 
spoon-shaped, narrow leaved Lettuce served every¬ 
where and termed Romaine at the hotels, but upon 
their return home they have not found the Romaine 
in the American markets. Yet, if they have home 
gardens, they can grow it themselves to as perfect 
a condition as observed abroad. Same as Paris 
White Cos except leaves are dark green. 
Paris White Cos or Trianon—65 Days 
White Seed. This variety, maturing for table in 
nine weeks from germination, should be found in 
every vegetable garden as it is a thoroughly reliable 
Lettuce. A strong grower and very productive with 
long, shell-shaped, light green leaves of most ex¬ 
cellent quality. It is a self-folder, but when the 
plant is over half grown, it is best tied up with a 
soft string or a wisp of grass that the inner leaves 
may be blanched perfectly white, in which condition 
they are more crisp and decidedly more palatable 
than varieties of a Cabbage-heading habit. It is a 
mystery why it does not displace them, especially 
as a given amount of ground will produce more 
than twice the amount of edible leaves than can 
possibly be obtained from any round-head. 
There are a number of Cos Lettuces; none superior 
to the White and Green.

MUSTARD 
Of European Origin 
Four Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds Will Sow an Acre 
t 
Breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
In the Spring, when the Pear tree is in bloom or as soon as the ground can be worked, drill in rows 
1 foot apart. To have a succession the sowings should be made every two or three weeks till October. Cut 
young; when old the flavor is strong. Used extensively in the South for greens. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE-LEAVED—35 Days 
Producing, when fully grown, immense leaves 
which are as long and as broad as Tobacco. These 
same leaves when size of a man’s hand are very 
tender and palatable as a salad. The leaves when 
twice that size we recommend for boiling as Spinach. 
This plant should have a place in every garden. An 
immense amount of edible and garnishing material 
can be raised in a very limited space. 
Chinese Broad Leaf or Elephant’s Ear—45 Days 
The mother variety from which Bloomsdale Large- 
leaved was selected and bred. Largely planted in 
all places where Mustard is used. 
Florida Broad Leaf—43 Days 
Leaves exceptionally large, slight^ crumpled and 
thick. More of a yellowish color than Chinese 
Broad Leaf. Thick, white midrib. A quick growing 
variety becoming more popular every day. 
Giant Southern Curled or Creole—35 Days 
Leaves large, yellowish green, much crumpled on the 
edges and very popular. The most popular Mustard 
on the market today but not equal to Ostrich 
Plume. Much more in demand and more productive 
seeder than the Ostrich Plume.
