— - PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Lettuce is a cool weather plant and does best in early spring and again in the fall. It is, therefore, advisable to start the seed 
early in hotbeds or boxes ad transplant the seedlings as soon as the weather is favorable. The non-heading varieties are sown 
directly in the garden bed in rows, and are cut as soon as the leaves are large enough. For head lettuce the proper spacing is 
4 to 6 inches apart in the row, the rows 1 foot apart. Endive is tied on top as soon as the leaves are large enough. 111181 
bleaches the inside of the heads. For winter storage take the heads up roots and all, and hang them up by the roots in the 
cellar or frost-proof outbuilding.
