COS LETTUCE. 
The Cultivation of the Lettuce —Sow in pans on a gentle heat in February, and prick out into a well-manured and warm border. Sow again during March in a 
protected situation out of doors for early use, and in succession to the end of August for the general and late crops. Young and tender plants may be grown in boxes or 
frames, and pulled and eaten when small ; in this form they make a delicate salad. Water liberally in dry and warm weather.

« In summer Cos Carters’ Giant White Mammoth is, as its name implies, a large 
and it may be said, an excellent Lettuce, and it is self-folding.”—From an article on 
lettuces in The Garden. 
“ I have taken First Prize three years in succession with Carters’ Giant White Cos 
Lettuce. I gave young plants to four friends, all of whom got prizes at local 
Shows.”—A. C. 
“ I exhibited four lots of Carters’ Giant White Cos Lettuce, and was awarded 
three Firsts and one Second Prize. It is the largest and best Lettuce in this 
district.”—J. B. 
“ From one ounce of Carters’ Giant Cos I grew 9,000 saleable Lettuce, 
which turned in, most of them without tying, and were off the ground 21 days from 
starting them.”—D. A. C.

Carters’ Jumbo Cos. 
A distinct Summer Lettuce of enormous size, raised by a celebrated French grower. 
During the hottest period of summer we saw this Lettuce standing as<_ 
firm as a rock growing within fifty miles of Paris, and many Lettuces when fit 
to eat weighed from 5 to 6 lbs. each. It is a shy seeder, because it does not 
bolt with the hot weather. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6 ( 1 . per packet, 2 s. 6 d. per oz. 
“ I cut one of Carters’ Jumbo Lettuces last season, weighing 7 lbs. 10 ozs., the
