CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, 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 recommend the Head 

 Lettuce in preference to the loose-leaved varieties; 

 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. 



1 ox. to 150 feet of drill.
