Laitue, Fr. 

 Lattuga, Ital. 



One ounce will produce about 3000 plants; one ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 



Culture. — Seed for the first outdoor crop is usually sown in hot beds in February or ]March, and the seedlings 

 transplanted to the garden in April, 8 to 12 inches apart, in rows 18 inches apart. For a succession until frost, 

 sow in drills in the open ground at intervals of every 2 or 3 weeks, and thin the plants to stand 8 inches apart. 

 For plants to force in hotbeds from November until Spring, sow seed in hotbeds in the Fall. 



Earliest "Wayahead" 



Shows a remark- 

 able combination 

 of earliness, firm heading character, handsome ap- 

 pearance and fine quahty. Both in coldframes early 

 in the Spring and in the open ground — in Spring, 

 Summer and early Fall montll.•^ — it has proved to be 

 not only the very earliest and surest heading of all 

 early Lettuces we have ever grown, but also of the 

 very finest quality at all seasons. The outer leaves 

 are a light green, while all the inner leaves of the 

 head . are nicely blanched to a rich butter-yellow 

 tint. Earliest "Wayahead"" stands a longer time
