Fresh Vegetables the Year 'Round 125 



in growing Lettuce indoors. For aphis, tobacco 

 dust sprinkled between the plants when they 

 are set out, and regular spraying or fumigat- 

 ing to prevent their getting a start, should be 

 used. 



Mignonette, while not known commercially, 

 is one of the most delicious of all Lettuces if you 

 do not mind the slight brown tinge of the leaves. 

 It grows readily under glass. May King and 

 Big Boston are standard varieties. Grand Rap- 

 ids, which does not form a head, but which is 

 deliciously crisp and tender when grown under 

 glass, is much easier to grow to perfection than 

 any of the heading sorts. If attempting Lettuce 

 indoors for the first time, I would use half of this 

 and half of one of the heading varieties. 



Just after planting, and while the heads are 

 maturing, it is of advantage to have the tem- 

 perature a little cooler than during growth. 

 If it can be regulated, a little below 50 degrees 

 at these times will be ideal. But for personal 

 use they will come along all right in a general- 

 purpose house where the temperature is about 

 50 to 60 degrees.
