LEAF AND OTHER VARIETIES 
CULTURE: Growing of the loose heading varieties 
is much the same as the New York varieties but much 
easier to grow. However, sow in ]5inch rows and 
thin the leaf varieties to 4 inches apart and the Big 
Boston to 7 inches apart as soon as a few leaves are 
formed. For an early crop plants can be sown in 
hotbeds and transplanted to the open field. 
ROMAINE or TRIANON, COS. Much esteemed for 
its fresh crispness. Leaves are long, smooth, nar- 
row, spoon-shaped, folding into .loose heads. 
Culture the same as other lettuces.
