 Lettuce thrives best in rich, moist ground. For the 

 principal early crop sow the seed in September in the 

 open ground ; transplant when large enough into cold 

 frames, and protect the plants during the winter in the 

 same manner as early Cabbage ; set the plants out early 

 in Aiiril ; or sow the seed in hot-beds in February or 

 March, and transplant into a sheltering border with a 

 southern exposure. For successive crops, sowing may be 

 made in the open ground as early as the spring opens, and 

 continuing until July. Always thin out well or the plants 

 will not be strong. When wanted as a cut salad sow the 

 seed thickly in rows or broadcast.
