Sow early in March. As soon as the plants are large enough, transplant into rich 
ground, in rows i8 inches apart, and 6 inches between the plants. Lefeks are extremely 
partial to nitrogen food, and would be greatly benefitted by a dressing of Cli brans' 
Nitrogen Manure at the rate of 2 ozs. to the running yard. If the ground be prepared 
for them the same way as for celery, they will make splendid exhibition plant®.

February in a slight hot-bed, and on an open border from March to 
the end of July, at intervals of a fortnight. The sowings of Winter varieties should be 
made in August, and the plants from these sowings pricked out under a south wall, or 
m a frame during Winter. Lettuce requires a rich loamy soil, and an abundance of 
moisture. A 4-inch potful of Clibrans' Phosphate manure should be incorporated with 
every barrow-load of soil intended for the seed-bed several weeks before the seed is 
sown, and the pricked out plants should receive addressing of Clibrans’ Nitrogen Manure 
at the rate of 2 ozs. to the square yard.
