crisp, light green, wavy leaves, very much fringed, 
curly, cultivated extensively in the West under

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. WhiteSeed. Sameas Paris’ 
White Cos except leaves are dark green. 
Paris White Cos or Trianon—65 Days. White 
Seed. A strong grower and very productive with 
long, shell-shaped, light green leaves of most ex- 
cellent quality. It isa 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.
