Lettuce is sown here during the whole year by the market-gardener. 
Of course, it takes a good deal of labor to produce this vegetable during 
our hot summer months. For directions how to sprout the seed during 
that time, see ‘Work for June.”’ The richer and better the ground the 
larger the head will be. No finer Lettuce is grown anywhere than in 
New Orleans during fall and Spring. The seed should be sown broad- 
cast, and, when large enough, planted outin rows a footapart, and from 
eight to ten inches apart in the rows. Some kinds grow larger than 
others, for instance Butterhead will not require as much space as Drum- 
head or Perpignan. 
Early Cabbage or White Butter. 
An early variety forming a solid head, but 
not quite so large as some others. It is the 
best kind for family use, to sow during fali 
and early spring, as it is very early and of 
good flavor.
