Two Ounces of Seed to loo Yards of Row. Three Pounds to the Acre. Forty to Fifty Days from Seeding to Maturity. 



To have fine Lettuce in early Spring, sow in seed-bed from commencement to middle of Autumn. During Winter pro- 

 tect the plants by a box covered with window or other sash, or with litter, as they stand on the ground. Early in the Spring 

 transplant some into rich ground. The others force under the sash. Or in early Spring sow in a hotbed and transplant, 

 but Autumn-sown plants are best. For a later supply, sow in drills when the Cherry is in bloom; when ui) a few inches 

 \hin out, leaving plants at proper distances; this is a better plan than transplanting late in the season. For this purpose 

 use Select Big Boston, Landreths' Forcing, Virginia Solid Header and heat-resisting varieties, which we have selected as 

 ■standard sorts by reason of their ability to resist heat, and the longer time they are in condition for the table than some other 

 kinds which shoot to seed as soon as the head is formed.
