Steckler's 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 seed for two hours In 

 water and wrap in damp cloth. Keep for 5 or 6 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 about 8 to 10 inches 

 apart in rows about 1 foot apart. Approximate time to maturity is given after each variety. This varies with 

 soil and climatic conditions.
