TUCKERS' QUALITY LETTUCE 
Fine Green Curled 
Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, hence 
the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible by 
liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For general 
crop, sow outdoors as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin the young 
plans to 4 inches apart in the row. As the plants begin 
to crowd, thin them out and use as required. For the 
cabbage or heading varieties where large heads are desired, 
the plants should be thinned 10 to 12 inches apart in the 
row.
