LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of row. 4 to 5 pounds for an acre. 
To grow head Lettuce early, sow the seed in February or March in boxes, flats or in hotbeds in rows. When 
an inch high, transplant to cold frames. From there set out in the garden as soon as the soil is warm, placing 
the plants S to 7 inches apart in rows while the rows should be 12 to 18 inches apart. Where there is no 
hotbed, sow seed outside when ground is warm and transplant. For loose-leaf or curly-leaved sorts, sow the 
seed either broadcast or in rows. By sowing in rows the plants can be cultivated. Sow seed the last of August 
and in September to be transplanted to the coldframe in October.
