LETTUCE—Continued 
Crisp Head Varieties 
These make a quick growth and form fine large heads 
which are always crisp, mild and extremely juicy. They 
withstand the heat better than any other type of lettuce.

Los Angeles Lettuce 
Romaine, or Cos Lettuce

Pkt., 5c..; oz., 20c.; 14 lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50. 
MUSKMELON 
A light, warm, rich soil is essential for this crop. When all danger from frost is over, plant the seed in slightly 
raised hills 4 feet apart each way, placing 6 to 8 seeds in each hill in a circle and covering with one inch of fine soil. 
Place a shovelful of old manure about 6 inches under each hill and tamp down firmly. Have the soil moist before planting 
so that no watering is required until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they are apt to rot. After all danger of destruc¬ 
tion by bugs is over, thin out to 3 plants to a hill; when about 1 foot long pinch off the tips to make them branch. This 
strengthens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature early. Muskmelons mature in 120 to 140 days. One ounce 
will plant about 50 hills.
