SLE Slee 5 Maule’s Lettuce 
Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked, in rows 1 to 11% ft. 
apart; cover seed 14 in. deep. Thin plants of loose leaf varieties to stand 4 to 6 in. apart 
in the row, and as they get large, use every other one. Thin heading type lettuce to stand 
1 ft. apart. For very early lettuce, seed may be sown ina coldframe or ina box ina sunny 
window in February, and the seedlings set out in April. Lettuce grows best during the 
cool seasons of the year. Successional sowings should be made every two weeks from 
early spring until June for a continuous supply during spring and early summer; sowings 
made in August and September will provide lettuce during the fall. A packet will sow 
about 50 ft. of row; an oz. about 200 ft.; use 3 lbs. for an acre.

inner leaves blanch to an appetizing rich buttery yellow. Heart is firm, creamy white,
