JO DUTHIE SEED CO. 
Lettuce 
1/4 oz. will plant 100 ft. row; 2 to 3 lb. 
per acre. 
In producing head lettuce it should 
be planted very early in the spring, 
thinning the plants just as soon as 
possible so that they will head prop¬ 
erly. If the plants are spaced about one 
foot apart in the row and weather 
conditions are satisfactory, they will 
head rapidly. It is advisable to fertilize 
head lettuce with Vigoro after they 
have been thinned, to hasten growth. 
In some localities early fall seeding 
can be made so that the crop can be 
harvested in October or early Novem¬ 
ber.
