Green vegetables are now considered a part of our everyday diet by almost everyone, and among 
the special favorites are crisp leaves and heads of lettuce. No other vegetable contains more vitamines 
and other health bringing elements, and no other can be more easily grown in home gardens every¬ 
where. 
Culture: Lettuce seed germinates quickly and may be planted as soon as the cold wet days of spring 
are past. Sow seed in rows 15 to 18 inches apart, covering not more than V 2 inch deep. 
For Head Lettuce: The plants should be thinned to 10 inches apart in the row and thorough culti¬ 
vation given to keep down the weeds and conserve moisture. A light application of fertilizer, such as 
nitrate of soda, used after the plants have made some growth, will be found very beneficial.
