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

until sprouted, then plant. Ants very often

maturity is given after each variety. This 
varies with soil and climatic conditions.
