Simpson ~ a 
Maule’s Delicious Lettuc 
Culture: Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked, in rows 1 to 
1% ft. apart; cover seed 1% 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 in a coldframe or in a 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 Ibs. for an acre.
