LETTUCE 
Lettuce is so easily grown that nearly everyone 
who has a garden makes several plantings. Prefers 
rich moist soil and to be crisp and tender should 
be grown quickly. For early use sow in a hotbed 
or boxes in February and March, transplanting to 
open ground when ready. Allow plenty of room for 
development if you wish large heads. The large 
varieties require as much as 134 feet each way, 
while the smaller varieties can be grown as closely 
as 12 inches apart. Plantings may be made in 
succession until the end of August. Thorough 
cultivation is necessary in summer, as most varie¬ 
ties tend to run to seed in hot weather.
