RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
LETTUCE 
Plant 
February to May, 
July to October. 
Lettuce requires rich moist soil, clean and thorough cultivation 
and plenty of water. Make your first planting's in boxes or hotbeds 
and harden by exposure; later plant outside and transplant 6 to 8 
inches apart in 18-inch rows; or plant in 18-inch rows and thin out. 
The curled varieties planted thickly make a beautiful border, the 
rows being thinned out by pulling as wanted. For a constant sup¬ 
ply plant every three weeks—lettuce may be had all seasons of the 
year. An ounce will produce about 1,500 plants; 2 pounds will make 
plants enough for an acre. 
No. 230 Wood’s Cabbage Lettuce 
[45 Days] 
If asked to name the most satisfactory all-round lettuce we 
would unhesitatingly name Wood’s Cabbage. For more than thirty 
years it has stood the 
test, and in the mean¬ 
time we have not found a 
more all-season lettuce. 
It may be planted in the 
early spring, in the late 
summer, in the fall, and 
it is fine for forcing in 
hotbed, making a me¬ 
dium large firm head that 
blanches nicely. The 
quality is excellent, the 
flavor sweet and buttery.
