“THE TRUCKER WHO PROFITS USES MASSER’S SEEDS” 
1934 
Masser’s Superior Lettuce 
Culture. Sow the seed in hotbeds or flats during February 
or early March, prick the young seedling out in flats or cold frame 
several inches apart each way, and as soon as a nice, rich, warm 
spot can be prepared in open ground in spring, transplant the 
well-hardened plants in rows a foot apart, allowing 8 to 12 inches 
space between the plants in the row. For succession sow seed 
thinly in open ground, and thin the plants to 5 or more inches 
apart. Sow for succession every few weeks until the fall. Some 
varieties do well in a cool forcing house during winter.
