It may be sown at any time. For main crop sow in June or July 

 in rows 16 inches apart. When nearly full grown it is blanched, to 

 destroy bitterness, in the following form : When dry gather up the 

 leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical shape, or lay clean 

 boards right over the plants, which thereby excludes the light and 

 air from the inner leaves, which then blanch to a beautiful yellow- 

 ish white. After fourteen days or three weeks they will be ready

 comes in after lettuce is gone.
