One onnoe for 200 feet of row. One ounce of Head Varieties will plant 400 
feet of row. Two pounds per acre. 
Lettuce will stand slight frosts, and is therefore one of the first things to plant; if the 
ground is well prepared, early April is not too soon. It can be planted up to the middle 
of July, and many prefer the later plantings. Place seed in trench half an inch deep, 
cover with fine soil to top of the trench and press the soil down. The plants should be 
up in about a week. If head varieties are wanted, thin to 4 or 5 inches. ^ The heads are 
usually well formed in 10 weeks and should then be cut or they will rapidly go to seed, 
especially in hot weather. The rows of lettuce should be at least a foot apart. The quality 
of the lettuce depends on the tilling—keep the hoe busy. 
’•‘These varieties form heads.

MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE 
One ounce for 50 hills, 3 pounds per acre. 
Muskmelon planting and cultivation throughout are the same as those used in raising Cucumbers. Is 
considered rather delicate for northern latitude, but with care can be successfully grown. Starting the 
plants in pots or small strawberry boxes indoors, and then setting out after frost is over, gives early 
production. The pleasure of raising them is worth the effort.
