Oz. Will Sow 300 Feet of Rc w and Makes About 600 Plants 
CULTURE—For very early crop, seed should be sown in hotbeds. Transplant plants to open ground fairly early 
in season. The plants being hardy, will stand quite a bit of cold weather. The loose heading varieties often do well 
when sown broadcast, or they may be sown in 1 foot rov* s and thinned out to 3 inches when the plants begin to 
spread. Heading varieties should be sown very early in the Spring, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart. After well up 
thin out to 8 to 10 inches apart in the row. Cultivate often. If ground is not very fertile, use Nitrate of Soda or 
High Grade Fertilizer which will add to the crispness of the Lettuce by promoting rapid growth.
