LETTUCE. 



GRAND RAPIDS 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 necesary 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 recommend the Head Lettuce in preference 

 to the loose-leaved varieties; they are finer flavored, more 

 solid, tender and crisp, and usually without a trace of the 

 bitt er flavor so common in the loose-leaved sorts. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. 3 lbs. to the acre.
