 is favorable, in rows 18 inches apart, and thin out or 

 transplant in rows, 12 inches apart for the Late White,

 Lettuce thrives best in good, 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 April, or sow the seed in hot-beds in February or March, 

 and transplant into a sheltered 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.
