Kopfsalat (Ger.) LETTUCE Lattuga (It.) 
A packet will sow about 30 feet of row; an ounce 250 feet. 
Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce. 
By making successive sowings you can have a supply of lettuce through¬ 
out. the season from little space. The loose leaf varieties, such as Black 
Seeded Simpson, Grand Rapids or Prize Head may be thinned to four to 
six inches when they come up and then every other one taken out and 
used as they get larger. To get really fine lettuce use the heading varieties 
such as White Boston, Mignonette, New York No. 515, etc. and thin to 
12-15 inches while the plants are still small. 
These two grand head¬ 
ing varieties are ideal 
for the home or com¬ 
mercial gardens.
