THIS LITTLE CATALOG WON’T MAKE A BIG FIRST IMPRESSION, ^ 
BUT THE MORE YOU READ IT THE BETTER YOU WILL LIKE IT ' 
LETTUCE 
Our strains are the finest you can secure. 
A good commercial crop in the cooler sections, 
and a good supply should be planted in every 
home garden—the leaf varieties or All the 
Year Round for early spring use; heading va¬ 
rieties for later use. Mountain Iceberg or the 
New York types are best suited for market or 
shipping. They should be planted in the early 
spring or in July or August for fall use; they 
must head during cool weather. 
Lettuce should be planted in rows 18 to 24 
inches apart. Leaf varieties can be planted 
quite thick; the heading varieties require less 
seed and should be thinned to one plant every 
6 to 8 inches.
