COLORADO 
Approximately nine-tenths of the lettuce grown in Colorado is 
produced at elevations between 7,000 and 9,000 feet, in a more or 
less scattered belt extending north and south through the central 
part of the State. 
FLORIDA 
Important lettuce-growing sections of Florida are in Manatee 
County near Palmetto and Bradentown ; in Seminole County at San- 
ford: in Orange County near Winter Garden; and in Alachua and 
Marion Counties between Micanopy and Mcintosh. Other districts 
in this State ship head lettuce in car lots, but most of the commercial 
production is confined to the sections named. 
IDAHO 
The three important lettuce districts of Idaho border the Snake 
River Valley. On the north in Xez Perce County, known as the 
Lewiston section; about 100 to 150 miles farther south is the area 
known as the Boise section, in Ada, Canyon, and Payette Counties; 
and in the south is the Twin Falls section, in Twin Falls County. 
The crop is grown generally in small fields of 1 to 5 acres, on land 
varying in elevation from 2,000 to 5,000 feet. 
NEW JERSEY 
The principal sources of car-lot shipments in Xew Jersey are Cum- 
berland, Salem, Gloucester, Monmouth, and Warren Counties. Let- 
tuce is grown in many parts of the State in connection with other 
truck crops, as market gardening is an important industry. 
NEW YORK 
Head lettuce is grown for car-lot shipment in Xew York State 
principally in Wayne and Oswego Counties, in the Elba section of 
Genesee and Orleans Counties, and in the Canastota-Chittenango dis- 
trict in Madison County, though a small acreage is to be found here 
and there throughout other parts of the State. The Long Island 
and Orange County sections produce lettuce on a rather extensive 
scale, largely for Xew York City consumption. 
NORTH CAROLINA 
Most of the Xorth Carolina lettuce shipments originate along the 
Atlantic coast in the Wilmington and Beaufort sections, although 
there is some commercial production in the interior of the State. 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
Two districts in South Carolina are important in the production 
of lettuce — Beaufort County and the Charleston section, the latter 
including Johns Island and the territory adjacent to the city of 
Charleston.
