Lettuce is sown here during the whole year by the market gardener. Of course it 

 -takes a great deal of labor to produce this vegetable during our hot summer months. For 

 directions how to sprout the seed during that time, see '"Work for June." The richer and 

 better the ground the larger the head will be. No finer Lettuce is grown anywhere else 

 than in New Orleans during fall and spring. The seed should be. sown broad-cast, when 

 large enough, plant out in rows a foot apart, and from eight to ten inches apart in rows. 

 Some kinds grow larger than others; for instance, Butter Head will not require as much 

 space as Drumhead or Perpignan. 



White Paris Coss Lettuce. 



i Early Cabbage or White Batter. 



JLfl early variety, forming a solid head., but 

 »ot quite so large as some others. It is the 

 "best kind for family use, to sow during fall 

 and early spring, as it is very early and of 

 good flavor. 



Drumhead Cabbage Lettuee. 



* Brown Dutch Cabbage. A very hard 

 'kind, forms a solid head; not so popular as 

 many other kinds; good for winter. 

 |/ Drumhead Cabbage. An excellent 

 -spring variety, forming large heads, the 

 >«uter leaves curled. 



3ta*j»F©Ted Royal Cabbage Lettuce. 



KktIj Cabbage or White Butter Lettuce. 



^Improved Royal Cabbage. This is 



the most popular variety in this S^ate. 

 Heads light green, of large size, and ax>ut 

 two weeks later than the White Butter. It 

 is tender and crisp; can be sown later in 

 the spring than the foregoing kind, and 

 ioes not run into seed so quickly. 



Pcrpigaan Lettuce. 



^PFhite Paris Coss. This is very popu- 

 lar with the New Orleans market gardeners, 

 as it is the favorite with the French popu- 

 lation. It grows to perfection and forms 

 large, fine heads, particularly in the spring 

 of the year. 



Our Japanese Soluble Insecticide has nerer been found wanting.
