LETTUCE 
Lettuce seed requires a cool soil and should be covered very 
lightly to secure germination. When well started transplant 
to rows 18 inches apart and 6 inches apart in the row. It may 
be planted throughout the season in most localities, and will 
mature in 65 to 90 days according to the variety and season 
of planting. One ounce will sow 200 feet of row. 
Head varieties may be drilled in the open on ridges in 
double rows 12 to 15 inches apart and the plants thinned to 
10 inches apart. From 2 to 4 pounds of seed are required to 
the acre.
