LETTUCE UNDER CLOTH. 



Please tell me how to grow lettuce un- 

 der cloth, in this Georgia climate. I 

 am shading through the brightest days 

 and fastening the cloth down during the 

 coldest nights. Is that right? My 

 frames are 11x62, out in the open 

 ground. What temperature will it stand 

 and what temperature does it require for 

 growing! The plants are starting to 

 head. Is there any danger of running 

 up to seed and how shall I prevent it? 



A. F. C. 



In regard to growing lettuce in your 

 latitude, I do not feel that I could safely 

 give much advice, but would not think 

 it necessary to cover it at all at night, 

 as lettuce will do well if held little above 

 freezing, 40 to 45 degrees being the best 

 night temperature and about 15 or 20 

 degrees higher in the daytime. Perhaps 

 it would be best to place thermometers 

 in the beds to get some idea of how the 

 temperature runs. If the sun is very 

 warm it is well to shade a little through 

 the hottest part of the day, but whatever 

 is used for shade should be removed 

 early in the afternoon. 



There is little danger of the heads 

 bursting if they are cut and sold when 

 ready, without leaving too long. Well 

 rotted manure should be spaded into the 

 beds before planting each crop.

There has been a great improvemeijt in 

 the movement of all kinds of stock since 

 last week. Mums of course hold the lead,

 coming in, as well as some extra good 

 valley, and these have sold at sight.
