LETTUCE. 
Lettuce is grown every where a 
garden is made, but most people 
grow it too thick for its best de- 
velopment. It should be trans- 
planted, 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 benefit 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 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 shel- 
tered from cold winds, 4x12 inches apart. Give plenty of water. 
Successive sowings should be made to have a supply through the 
season. The Early Egg, Boston Market and Rochester Market 
are small forcing lettuces used for growing under glass. 
Early Egg-.- One of the best for forcing under glass ; quick 
growth, forms a beautiful pale green head, oval or egg shape. 
Per packet, 5 cents ; oz , 25 cents ; i lb., 75 cents ; lb., $2.50. 
Boston Market. — One of the earliest and much used for 
forcing ; forms a small, compact head. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 
15 cents ; i lb., 50 cents ; lb., $1.75. 
Rocliester Market.— A forcing lettuce grown very ex- 
tensively here in greenhouses for the early market. A small 
cabbage lettuce, as early as the Boston Market ; is somewhat 
larger, and I think forms a better head. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz, 
20 cents ; i lb., 60 cents ; lb., $2.00.
