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 bet- 
ter the ground the larger the head will be. No-finer Lettuce is grown 
anywhere than in New Orieans during fall and spring. The seed 
should be sown broad-east, 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.
