Premium Cabbage Lettuce. 



LETTUCE Lattich. 



1 oz. to 2,500 plants ; 3 pounds to acre. 



For early spring sow in a seed-bed in September or October, and protect through the winter with cold frames. Seeds sown in hot beds in March 

 will, if kept from cold, make good plants in April. Transplant in good rich soil in rows 18 inches apart, and 8 to 10 inches in the rows. For a 

 later supply plant every two weeks from the middle of April until July, choosing varieties according to their heat resistance.
