LETTUCE 
(Sottidfj, ober 
RopfSatat) 
sow PLENTY OF LETTUCE; 
IT GROWS QUICKLY, SELLS 
QUICKLY. AND IS PROFITABLE 
HOW TO GROW LETTUCE. — To grow head Lettuce early, sow the seed in February or March in boxes or flats or in hot- 
beds in close rows. When an inch or more high, transplant to other flats or coldframes. S»t plants about 2 inches apart each way. 
From there set out in the garden as soon as the soil is warm, placing the plants 6 or 8 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. Where 
there are no hotbeds or flats, sow the seed outside when weather permits and transplant outside. For loose-leaf or cutting Lettuce, 
sow the seed either broadcast or in rows; make sowings every 2 weeks for Lettuce all summer, and cut as it comes. Cover seed 
by raking over if sowed broadcast, or the birds will get most of it. Sowing in rows is best, for then seed can be covered and plants 
cultivated. One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants.
