LETTUCE 



Gerruau, Latticb. Fieuoh, Laitne. 



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 I'oom 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. For home use we recommend 

 the Head Lettuce in preference to the loose-leaved varieties: they 

 are finer flavored, more solid, tender and and crisp, and usually 

 without a trace of the bitter flavor so common in the loose- 

 leaved sorts. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. 3 lb.s. to the acre. 



CTJBLED OR LOOSE-LEAYED LETTUCE. 



GRAND KAPIDS — ^Extra Selected Stock. 



The most popular of all Forcing Lettuce. On account of its

 and is less liable to rot; the leaves are light yellowish-green, 

 excellent for shipping and keep a long time without wilting. Pkt.
