Steckler’s New York Wonderful 
LETTUCE 
Culture — Planting time, 
Spring, January to June; Fall, September to 
November. Plant one ounce to I50 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.

enough to transplant, plant 10 inches apart 
in rows 1 foot apart. Approximate time te 
maturity is given after each variety. This 
varies with soil and climatic conditions.
