Though late, it is hardy, remains long in head before running to seed, and is well worthy of cultivation.
Waite's White Cos. M'Int.
An excellent variety, apparently intermediate between the Green Paris and White Paris; not of quite so deep a green as the former, yet deeper than the latter. With regard to its comparative excellence, it is considered fully equal to the Paris Cos varieties; as it is grown as easily, and is equally crisp and tender. Size and weight nearly the same.
White Brunoy Cos (Black-Seeded). Vil.
Leaves of large size, yellowish-green, pointed, slightly undulated, entire on the borders, and often revoluted like those of the White-seeded. It rarely produces a head; or, if so, it is loose and open. Its greatest perfection is obtained by collecting the exterior leaves about the top of the plant, and tying them loosely together.
The variety is not considered superior to the White-seeded, though both of the sorts are inferior to the Paris Cos or Florence sorts.
White Brunoy Cos (White-Seeded). Vil.
The heads of this variety are long and loose, and rarely form well unless the exterior leaves are tied loosely together. It somewhat resembles the Alphange in the form and character of its foliage, though the head is longer and larger.
The plant attains a remarkable size, is hardy, and of good quality; but soon runs to seed, and appears to be a winter rather than a summer lettuce.
