LETTUCE 
CULTURE—Lettuce is the most popular of all salads. Boiled, it is 
quite equal to spinach, and it is also sometimes used in soups. Let¬ 
tuce requires good ground and an abundance of moisture. The 
simplest way is to sow in the open ground early in the spring in 
rows one foot apart, as the plants begin to crowd, gradually thin 
out and use as required, so the plants will stand about 10 inches 
apart in the rows; should be hoed frequently to reach full develop¬ 
ment quickly. Beginning early in the spring, lettuce should be 
sown every two or three weeks until the middle of August. This 
will supply fresh, tender lettuce during the entire season. Lettuce 
in the ground out of doors, will stand some freezing, but is killed 
by prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing, and to have 
it at its best should be grown as rapidly as possible, hence the soil 
should be rich. One-half ounce of seed to 200 feet of drill, which 
will produce about 1,000 plants. 
LOUISVILLE MARKET—We introduced this splendid variety in this 
market 29 years ago and it has been growing in favor, ever since, 
and is now being planted by fully 90 % of the gardeners in this 
section. In general appearance it resembles the well known variety 
of Black Seeded Simpson. However, the leaves are much thicker 
and will not wilt as easily nor rot off or disease as quickly in 
greenhouses or hotbeds as the Simpson. Pkt. 5c; ok. 25c; % lb. 75c;

GRAND RAPIDS—For greenhouse forcing this variety stands un¬ 
doubtedly at the head of the list. Owing to its habit of growth, all 
of its leaves are carried well above the soil, which enables it to

loose clusters, and is very atractive. Leaves are bright green col¬ 
or, savoyed, and finely crimped at the edges. Pkt. 5c; ok. 20c; y 4 lb. 
50c; lb. $1.50.
