LETTUCE ™ 
Lettuce thrives best on black humus. If this is 
lacking enrich by liberal manuring and fertiliz¬ 
ing. Sow as soon as ground can be worked and 
thin heading varieties to eight to ten inches. 
Loose-leaved varieties may be left much closer. 
Constant cultivation is necessary.

leaves broad, crumpled and light green. The 
standard loose sort.
