Heading Varieties 
For the first outdoor crop, seed is usually 
sown in hotbeds in February or March and 
transplanted to the garden in April in rows 
1 feet apart, 8 to 12 inches apart in the 
row. For a succession, sow in drills in the 
open ground at intervals of two or three weeks 
and thin out to 8 inches apart. For plants to 
force in hotbeds from November until spring, 
sow seeds in hotbeds in the fall. Where it is 
difficult to have the heading varieties develop 
properly on account of soil condition, we re- 
commend using loose-leaf varieties. 
All Heart. 71 days. An excellent Lettuce for 
either spring or summer use. The head, 
while large, has a loose heart of a decided 
buttery flavor. Can be used for sowing in 
frames. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % Ib., $1.00. 
Big Boston. 75 days. A large, flat, cabbage- 
headed variety, excellent for midsummer or 
fall use, or under glass in early spring and 
autumn. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; Y% Ib., $1.00. 
Boston Market. 73 days. (White-seeded Ten- 
nisball). Early, small heading variety. One

veloped as a brown-blight-resistant variety

cent seasons given most satisfactory results 
in other sections. Heads are medium large, 
hard, fine and well covered by the inner 
leaves. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; Y% Ib., $1.15.

Loose-Leaf or Cutting Varieties 
For early or midsummer use, seed should be 
sown very thickly. When pulling the young 
plants, try to do so carefully, with an effort to 
thin out the bed, thus allowing the remaining 
plants to become large. 
Black-Seeded Simpson. 46 days. Ideal for mid- 
summer use. When matured, presents a 
formidable loose head with finely fring 
leaves. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 4 Ib., $1.00.

Romaine or Cos Lettuce 
This type, of French origin, differs greatly 
from the American varieties by its peculiar, 
upright growth. 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 plant- 
ing and stands the heat well.

Cos but darker green leaves. Inner leaves 
bleach a creamy to golden yellow with

Paris White Cos. 66 days. White seed. Strong 
grower and very productive, with long, shell- 
shaped, medium green leaves of most excel- 
lent quality. A self-folder, but when plant 
is over half grown it is best to tie it up 
with string so that the inner leaves may 
be blanched perfectly white. Head 8 to 
9 inches high, long loaf-shaped. Pkt., 10c;
