LETTUCE— In Daily Demand Everywhere 



Stecklei's Selected Big Boston 



LETTUCE 



Culture — Planting time, Southern States, 

 Spring, January to June; Fall, September to 

 November. Plant one ounce to 150 feet of 

 row, 3 pounds to one acre. If planted during 

 hot weather, soak seeds for 2 hours in water, 

 preferably on ice if convenient, and wrap in 

 damp cloth. Keep for six days in damp cloth 

 until sprouted, then plant. Ants very often 

 carry away the seed before sprouting but 

 this treatment stops it. If weather is cool and 

 damp the above treatment is unnecessary. 

 When sown direct, sow broadcast, when large 

 enough to transplant, plant 10 inches apart 

 in rows 1 foot opart. Approximate time to 

 maturity is given after each variety. This 

 varies with soil and climatic conditions.
