Maulers Delicious Lettuce 



Culture: Sow the seed in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked, in rows 

 1 to ly^ ft. apart; cover seed J4 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 in a 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.
