LESSON III 



Set out, ten feet from south end, one 

 row of lettuce plants one foot apart. Set 

 them in the ground the same depth that 

 they are growing. Be careful and not 

 disturb the roots. If the soil is hard, 

 loosen it with the hoe and set the plants 

 with the hands. Make a hole for the 

 plant with the right hand, lower the plant 

 into it with the left and press the earth 

 firmly about the roots with both hands. 

 Level the land with the rake before setting 

 the lettuce plants. 



Level and rake south and west walks. 



Dig a hole in the north end or centre of 

 the garden, raking the lumps into it and 

 level off. 



Be careful about measuring.
