1 LETTUCE. 



Laitue. Lechuga. (Salat. 

 Culture.— Sow Nos. 799, 802, 806 and 807 in hotbeds, in March, and in the open ground as soon as it 

 can be worked, and transplant to rows eight inches apart. Sow in two weeks' time same varieties again, as 

 also Cos, for a succession. In August sow any of the varieties. In October some of these may be planted in 

 frames, to head in winter and early spring. Always sow thin and thin out well, or the plants will not be 

 strong. The last spring sowing had better be grown where sown, being thinned out to six or eight inches apart. 

 To have Cos in good order, they must be sown in a hotbed early in the year, and transplanted in a coldframe, 

 so as to have good plants to set out at the opening of the ground. They require tying for a few days, when 

 grown, to blanch. Lettuce requires good ground, enriched with thoroughly rotted manure and well pulverized. 

 The after-culture should be close and careful, to secure the best results.
