VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow SOO feet of drill. 
Sow in the open ground as early as possible, barUy covering the seed. If the hot-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 bed be about four inches apart. As they increase in size 
thin them out, or they will become weak. Lettuce generally runs to seed very early in 
the season, so that after warm weather sets in it is diificult 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.
