Cos Lettuce 
ROMAINE . COS LETTUCE 
This type is of French origin, and as will 
be seen by the illustration, differs greatly 
from the American varieties by its peculiar, 
upright growth. In order to produce tender 
heads, the outer leaves must be tied together 
at the top so that the inner ones blanch. It 
has a decided flavor. Best adapted to outdoor 
planting and stands the heat well. 
Kingsholm. The largest and best heading 
variety of this type. The inner leaves 
blanch almost pure white and have little 
or no rib. Heads are very full throughout 
and therefore contain a larger proportion 
of edible leaves. Pkt. 10c.; 20c. per oz.; 
J^lb. 60c. 
CHICKEN LETTUCE 
MARTYNIA 
Unicorn Plant 
Proboscidea. A bushy plant, growing 2 feet

sembling gloxinias, followed by curled seed-

tasty relish. Sow seeds in April outdoors 
and transplant to stand 2 feet apart each 
way. Pkt. 10c.; 30c. per Hoz.; oz. 50c.
