Lettuce 
One ounce will produce from 2,000 to 3,000 plants 
Lettuce may be grown in every garden. Well-rotted stable 
manure should be well mixed in the soil. If this cannot be 
secured, use good commercial fertilizer, which should be raked 
in after digging. Sow seed as soon as ground can be 
worked, and thin out as desired. If for heading, leave 
plants 8 to 10 inches apart. If for cutting, may be left 
closer. Successive sowings may be made until August 5.
