Lettuce 
*4 oz will plant- 100 ft. row; 2 to 3 lbs. per acre 
In producing head lettuce it should be planted 
very early in the spring, thinning the plants just 
ss soon as possible so that they will head properly. 
If the plants' are spaced about one foot apart in the 
row and weather conditions are satisfactory, they 
will head rapidly. It is advisable to fertilize head 
lettuce with Vigoro after they have been thinned, 
to hasten growth. In some localities early fall seed¬ 
ing can be made so that the crop can be harvested 
in October or early November.
