Big Boston Lettuce. 
Lettuce 
For early plants, the seed may be sown 
in September and transplanted into cold- 
frames for protection during the Winter, 
or sow in February or March in hotbeds 
with a moderate bottom heat, cover 
lightly, and thin sufficiently to prevent 
crowding; gradually harden by exposure. 
Transplant to the open ground in a shel¬ 
tered location in April; set in rows 1 foot 
apart, and 6 inches apart in the row; 
when heads begin to form, thin out by 
using alternate plants in the rows; for 
succession, sow in prepared beds as soon 
as the ground can be worked and at 
intervals of two weeks during the Sum¬ 
mer. To be crisp and tender, its growth 
should be vigorous and rapid, which re¬ 
quires rich soil, plenty of well-rotted 
manure and an abundance of moisture.
