LETTUCE 
(% oz. to 100 feet of drill). 
Lettuce is represented by four distinct classes or types 
— by the thick-leaved, smooth-edged cabbage-heading 
type; the curly and thin-leaved tight-heading, crisp type; 
the curly and thin-leaved bunching or non-heading type; 
and the cos or celery type. There are early, medium early 
and late varieties of each type as well as those especially 
adapted for greenhouse, hot-bed, winter, spring, summer 
and autumn uses. There is so great a difference in lo- 
calities in regard to the value of lettuce, that a uniform 
rule for culture cannot be adopted. For the ordinary 
house garden, it is desirable to use one variety of each 
type and several plantings should be made to secure a 
succession. The seed should be planted in rows eighteen 
inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of 
cabbage varieties should bo thinned to four inches apart. 
Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick, and 
when fairly well grown those thinned out may be used.
