, WIS. 
LETTUCE. 
German, Lattich. French, Laitue. 
The Lettuce is of easy growth and will thrive 
in any ordinary garden soil. Sow thinly in rows 
1 foot apart, and when large enough thin out the 
plants so as to leave room for growth. To obtain 
good Lettuce all through the season it is neces- 
sary to make sowings at short intervals, as during 
the hot months it is apt to become bitter and run 
to seed. For home use we recom- 
mend the Head Lettuce in prefer- 
ence to the loose-leaved varie- 
ties; they are finer flavored. more 
solid, tender and crisp, and usu- 
ally without a trace of the bitter 
flavor so common in the loose- 
leaved sorts.
