LETTUCE 
Lettuce is one of the oldest vegetables and is of unknown origin. Its con¬ 
tinual and widespread usage has been due largely to the constant breeding 
of better types for uniformity, disease resistance and high quality. The 
seed germinates quickly and can be planted as soon as cold days are past; 
January and February for the main spring crop and July and August for 
the main fall and winter crop of the heading types. The loose leaf type 
matures much quicker than the heading types and when planted at the 
same time will be through before the heading type comes in. Seed may be 
drilled in and thinned out to 10 inches apart in rows 15-18 inches apart or 
may be sown in a cold frame and transplanted out when in the four-leaf 
stage.
