Lettuce (continued) 
Cos or Romaine 
This kind of Lettuce originated on the Island of Cos 
near Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. Both varieties 
were listed by us over 100 years ago. 
Dark Green Cos—65 Days. White Seed. Same 
as Paris White Cos except leaves are dark green. 
Paris White Cos—65 Days. WhiteSeed. A strong 
grower and very productive with long, shell-shaped, 
light green leaves of most excellent 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 
so the inner léaves may be blanched perfectly white, 
in which condition they are more crisp.
