SUCCESSIVE LETTUCE CROPS. 



I have a few questions I should like 

 to ask as to the growing of lettuce in 

 this Pennsylvania climate. I want to 

 fill one house with lettuce and I never 

 before grew any in the greenhouse. I 

 want to grow Grand Bapids and have 

 the first crop ready in November> after 

 freezing weather, so I can take out 

 every other row aijd have the large 

 ones ready for Thanksgiving. I sowed 

 seed outside August 5; this is up about 

 one inch. I sowed another batch Au- 

 gust 15; this is up nicely, about one- 

 quarter inch. August 20 I sowed seed 

 inside; it is just coming up. ' 



Which of the sowings shall I trans- 

 plant to the greenhouse benches, to 

 have it at the time desired? How close 

 should it be placed f In watering, 

 should the leaves be wet or should all 

 the watering be done between the 

 plants f For transplanting for the sec- 

 ond crop, after taking off the first, 

 when should the seed be sownf 



0. B.S. 



The lot you sowed August 20, if 

 healthy, will probably be best tqx your 

 November crop. You might use part 

 of the sowing of August 16 for earlier 

 cutting, but I think the last lot planted 

 will be best and will not bring in out- 

 side insects to bother later. Transplant 

 the seedlings into the beds — 6x8 inches 

 apart for large lettuce, 6x6 if for cut- 

 ting as soon as ready. 



You need not be especially particular 

 about the watering now, but later it 

 will be necessary to water only between 

 the rows and not wet the foliage much 

 when the leaves get thick, so they will 

 not dry off. The second batch of seed 

 should be sown six weeks after the first 

 lot. "When up, transplant to flats or, 

 better, a bench, placing them about 

 one or one and one-half inches apart, 

 to remain until the first crop is cut off. 

 Fumigate regularly for green fly. 



H. G. 



Pierre, S. D. — On the night of Au- 

 gust 29 a cloudburst over the hills sur- 

 rounding Pierre caused a flood that 

 spread over the lower part of the city, 

 filling basements and lower stories of 

 many homes. The Capitol Greenhouse, 

 H. D. Enoe proprietor, were heavy los' 

 ers, having every plant outside de^ 

 stroyed and most of the plants in the 

 greenhouse under five feet of water. 

 This establishment had a heavy loss by 

 fire last winter, making this a doubly 

 disastrous calamity.
