LETTUCE 
See pag-e 2 for information regarding days to maturity. 
Plant one-fourth ounce to 100 feet of drill; three pounds per acre. 
Soil should be rich and friable; for lettuce to be at its best it 
must grow rapidly. For general crop sow out of doors as early in 
the spring as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart 
and thin the heading varieties to 8 to 15 inches apart. Loose leaf 
varieties should stand fully 6 inches apart, the thinning being done 
slowly, except in large fields, and such plants when removed may 
be used as a salad.
