LETTUCE Adds the Finishing Touch to Many Dishes 



Plant Several Varieties 

 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 

 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 treat- 

 ment 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 apart. Approxi- 

 mate time to maturity is given after each variety. 

 This varies with soil and climatic conditions.
