MAKSriALL’H A^EGETAISLE SEEDS. 
1!) 
LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 
Sow in tlio open ground as early as 
possible, barely covering the seed. If 
the liot-bed is used, let it be started 
quite early. Give but little heat and 
plenty of water and air on fine days. 
Let plants in the bod be about 4 inches 
apart. As they increase in size thin 
them out, or they will become weak. 
Lettuce generallj^ runs to seed very 
early in the season, so that after warm 
weather sets in it is difficult to find a 
good head of Lettuce in most gardens. 
The remedy is to plant for late use in 
a cool, partially, shaded place, in rich 
soil.
