LETTUCE. 
Lettuce is grown every where a 
garden is made, but most people 
grow it too thick for its develop- 
ment. It should be transplanted, 
when quite small, into rows a foot 
apart and five or six inches apart 
in the row. It will then form 
large plants or heads. Farmers 
generally fail to get the full bene- 
fit of lettuce, because they do not 
have it early enough. It should 
be grown ready for use by the 
time the garden is made, which is 
the usual time with most farmers cabbage lettuce. 
for sowing the seed. Raise the plants in a hot- bed, or in a box in 
the house, and when two inches high set out in a cold frame, or 
where they can be sheltered from cold winds, 4x12 inches apart.

have a supply through the season. The Early Egg and Boston
