LETTUCE 
1 oz. will sow 300 feet of row and makes about 600 plants. 
CULTURE —For very early crop, seed should be sown in hotbeds. Transplant plants to open ground 
fairly early in season. The plants being hardy, will stand quite a bit of cold weather. The loose head¬ 
ing varieties often do well when sown broadcast, or they may be sown in 1 foot rows and thinned out 
to 3 inches when the plants begin to spread. Heading varieties should be sown very early in the Spring, 
in drills 15 to 18 inches apart. After well up, thin out to 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. Cultivate 
often. If ground is not very fertile, use Nitrate of Soda or High Grade Fertilizer which will add to the 
crispness of the Lettuce by promoting rapid growth.
