Lettuce (Lactuca sativa ). 
Sow early in February m 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 in 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 a dressing of Clibrans' Nitrogen Manure at the rate of 2 ozs. to the square yard. ’ ™
