LETTUCE 



Lettuce is ot easy jyrowth and will thrive in any ordinary g-arden soil. Sow thinly in rows 1 foot apart, and when large 

 enoug-h thin out the plants so as to leave room for growth. To obtain good Lettuce all through the season it is necessary to 

 make sowings at short intervals, as during- the hot months it is apt to become bitter and run to seed.
