r'liiTiiDC A world wide grown 
L^ULlUKc. vegetable because 
it can be quickly and easily 
grown. Is extremely palat¬ 
able and very nutritious. 
Every garden deserves a 
lettuce plot. The quickest 
growing types are the 
loose leaf varieties, and 
we suggest for the home 
garden a plot of loose 
leaf and a bed of the 
heading type. The loose 
leaf varieties will have 
matured and be used up 
by the time the heading 
types are matured. 
The looseleaf Lettuce does 
not form heads but where 
the plants are grown a 
distance apart they make 
a large rounded cluster of 
leaves. Leaves are heav¬ 
ily crumpled and attrac¬ 
tive in appearance, crisp 
and tender. We advise 
the planting of two ounces of seed 
for a 150 foot row and if the let¬ 
tuce is too thick, thin after it has 
attained a size which can be pulled 
and used for salad or it can be 
thinned out when young and trans¬ 
planted to another section of the 
garden. Lettuce needs considerable 
moisture, applied often but not too 
heavily and plenty of cultivation to 
obtain best results. 
HEAD LETTUCE 
tremely solid or compact forma¬ 
tion. Such types as Los Angeles 
Market, New York, Big Boston and 
Iceberg, may be depended upon to 
satisfactorily mature a firm cabbage-like head, 
Heading varieties should be sown the same as loose leaf 
except that they should by all means be thinned out when 
the fourth leaf appears leaving plants in the row 10 inches 
apart. 
A rich pliable medium loam soil Is best. In field planting, plant on 
ridges, 14 to 18 inches wide and in double rows about 12 inches 
apart, giving frequent irrigations between the ridges. Plant about 
2 lbs. of seed per acre.
