Cultureo ^O'-' nis-iii early crop, 

 seeJ may he sown in the 

 open ground in the middle of September 

 and transplanted to cold frames as soon 

 as large enough to handle, being win- 

 tered over the same as early caSbage. 

 in dry, well sheltered snots, by cover- 

 ing with leaves or litter late in the sea- 

 son. Lettuce plants may be saved over 

 the winter without glass covering in 

 southern parts of the country without 

 difficulty. The plants for setting out 

 in spring are also sown in hot-beds in 

 February and in cold fi-ames in March, 

 and by careful covering up at niaht 

 make fine plants by April. But for^or- 

 dinary private use in the summer 

 months, the simplest way is to sow it 

 thinly in rows one foot apart and thin 

 out the plants so that they will stand 

 one foot apart. This is easier than 

 transplanting the plants, and if sown 

 every two or three weeks, from the 

 ^ middle of April to the middle of August, 

 ' ^ettuce may be had in succession the 

 irhole season.
