LETTUCE 



(©arten Salat) 



A Seed Crop of Blacs Simpson Lettuce 



Seed for the first outdoor crop is usually sown in hotbeds in February, and 

 the seedlings transplanted to the garden in April, 8 to 12 inches apart, in rows 12 

 inches apart. For a succession until frost, sow in drills in the open ground at 

 intervals of every two or three weeks, and thin the plants to stand 6 to 8 inches apart For plants to force in hotbeds from November 

 until spring, sow seed in hotbeds in the fall, and cover up as winter approaches, until the plants are required for use. Or the seed may 

 be sown in hotbeds early in winter and the seedlings transplanted when large enough into fine and well-prepared garden soil. Half an 

 ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill, and produce about 1,500 plants.
