Carter’s Round-Leaved ( see Photograph) . — A hardy, flat-shaped variety that can be sown at almost 
any season; the heads are very compact and firm, solid and white; slow to run to seed. In our own 
trials we have repeatedly seen this variety standing firm when others have bolted.

Carter’s Longstander — A distinct and valuable variety of great size. From its peculiar habit of

Cultivation of Lettuce. — Sow the seed in hotbeds during February or early March. As the seedlings appear prick them 
into flats or cold frames, leaving several inches between the plants for growth. As soon as a nice, rich warm spot can be 
worked in the open, transplant the sturdiest plants in rows 1 foot apart and leaving 8 to 12 inches between the plants in the 
rows. For a succession of growths sow the seed very lightly in open ground and thin the plants to 6 inches or more apart. 
Do this as often as one bed is rid of its result. Some varieties will do very well during the winter in a cool forcing house. 
One ounce of seed will produce three thousand plants.
