ONE OUNCE TO 1000 PLANTS; TWO POUNDS TO THE ACRE. 

 CULTURE OF LETTUCE.— Sow the seed in hot-beds in February or 

 March, and transplant into a sheltering border with a Southern exposure. 

 For successive crops, sowing may be made in the open ground as early as 

 the Spring opens, and continuing until July. Always thin out well, or 

 plants will not be strong. When wanted as a cut salad, sow the seed thickly 

 in rows or broadcast.
