LETTUCE 
Culture —One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to 
sow one acre in drills. Lettuce belongs in every garden, whether large 
or small. It is easy to grow, and grows to perfection in a rich, moist, 
cool soil. Sow the seed in hotbeds in February or March, transplant 
into a sheltering border with a southern exposure. For successive crops, 
sowings may be made in the open ground as early as the spring opens 
and continuing until July. From 60 to 80 days are required to bring 
the crop to maturity. Always thin out well, or the plants will not be 
strong. When wanted as a cut salad, sow seed thickly in rows or 
broadcast. 
The following prices are postpaid:
