Iiettuce requires rich, moist soil, clean and thorough cultivation, and plenty of 
water. Make your first plantings in boxes or hotbeds and harden by exposure; 
later plant outside and transplant 6 to 8 inches apart in 18-inch rows; or plant 
in 18-inch rows and thin out. The curled varieties planted thickly make a beau¬ 
tiful border, the rows being thinned out by pulling as wanted. For a constant 
supply plant every three weeks—lettuce may be had all seasons of the year. 
An ounce will produce about 1,500 plants; 2 pounds will make plants enough 
for an acre. 
No. 230 Wood’s Cabbage Lettuce 
(65 Days) 
If asked to name the most satisfactory all-round lettuce, we would unhesitat¬ 
ingly name Wood’s Cabbage. For more than thirty years it has stood the test, and 
in the meantime we have not found a more all-season lettuce. It may be planted 
in the early spring, in the late summer, in the fall, and it is fine for forcing in hot¬ 
bed, making a medium large, firm head that blanches nicely. The quality is excel¬ 
lent. the flavor sweet and buttery. You will like it. Pkt. 10 c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 40c; 
Jb. $1.25; 2-lb. lots $1.10 per lb.; 5-lb. lots 95c per lb.; 10-lb. lots 85c per lb., postpaid.
