COS LETTUCE. 
The Cultiuation 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 mav 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.

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.
