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.
