LETTUCE FOR FORCING. 



What are the best varieties of lettuce 

 for winter forcing, also at what time 

 should the seed be sown to insure a 

 Christmas crop for market? What 

 should be the temperature of the lettuce 

 house! W. S. H. 



The best variety of lettuce to grow is 

 the kind known as Boston Market. This 

 is a leading lettuce, and is also known 

 as the Belmont, Hothouse Forcing and 

 other names, but they are all the same 

 thing to all intents and purposes. There 

 is a variety known as the Grand Rapids 

 which is extensively grown is some sec- 

 tions, but it does not form a solid head, 

 as does the Boston lettuce, and markets 

 accustomed to the heading variety have 

 no use for the Grand Rapids type. 



Seed sown about the last week in Sep- 

 tember should produce a Christmas crop, 

 as it takes twelve or thirteen weeks to 

 mature a crop from seed. If a succes- 

 sion is desired all through the season, 

 seed should be sown every week until 

 February, and in order to keep the house 

 full, plants should be grown along in 

 flats ready to plant right into the bed 

 as soon as the first crop is cut out. 



The temperature of the house should 

 be 40 degrees at night, though on bright 

 days it may with advantage be run up 

 to 65 or 70 degrees. 



Lettuce growing presents no great dif- 

 ficulties to the beginner. When you water 

 the bed, do the job thoroughly, so that 

 the soil will get wet down to the bot- 

 tom and do not practice overhead spray- 

 ing. Use good, new loam and disease 

 will not be troublesome. Some growers 

 use quite a little fresh horse droppings 

 in the soil after the first crop is gath- 

 ered, claiming that it warms the soil 

 and starts the new crop away quicker.

 3,000 square feet to their present range 

 of houses. W. E. King is rebuilding 

 one house and is installing a new heat- 

 ing system. 



I cannot do without the Review, as 

 it is the best guide as to where to buy 

 stock, and if I have anything to sell I 

 can't do better than to advertise in the 

 Review. — E. O'Neil, Wheeling, W. Va. 



In Critchell's advertisement the words 

 "Cash please; satisfaction guaranteed," 

 are omitted, but the combination always 

 goes together with this house.
