LETTUCE 
Oz. Will Sow 300 Feet of Row and Makes About 600 Plants. 
CULTURE—For very early crop, seed should be sown in hotbeds. Transplant plants to open ground fairly early 
in season. The plants being hardy, will stand quite a bit cf cold weather. The loose heading varieties often do well 
when sown broadcast, or they may be sown in I foot rows and thinned out to 3 inches when the plants begin to 
spread. Heading varieties should be sown very early in the Spring, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart. After well up, 
thin out to 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. Cultivate often. If ground is not very fertile, use Nitrate of Soda or 
High Grade Fertilizer which will add to the crispness of the Lettuce by promoting rapid growth.
