Lettuce is sown here during the whole year by the market gar- 
dener. Of course, it takes a good deal of labor to produce this vege- 
table 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 else than in New Orleans during fall and spring. The 
seed should be sown broad-cast, and, when large enough, planted out 
in rows a foot apart, 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 Drumhead or Perpignan.
