TUCKERS’ SEED HOUSE, CARTHAGE, MISSOURI 
TUCKERS’ QUALITY LETTUCE 
Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence the soil should be made as rich and friable 
as possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For general crop, sow outdoors as early in 
the spring as the ground can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin the young plants to 4 inches 
apart in the row. As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as required. For the cabbage 
or heading varieties where large heads are desired, the plants should be thinned 10 to 12 inches apart 
in the row.
