LEAF and HEADING 
Lettuce may be grown In hot¬ 
beds in winter, but for ordinary 
garden sow as soon as spring 
opens and thereafter in succes¬ 
sion once in two or three weeks. 
Make the rows 16 Inches apart 
and cover V* inch deep with fine 
soil, which should be firmed above 
the seeds. When the plants are 
up thin out to 3 or 4 Inches apart 
and when those remaining are 
large enough for use, every other 
one may be taken out and leave 
room for the 
remaining ones 
to grow. 
The head va¬ 
rieties should 
have 10 to 12 
inches of space 
between the 
plants to form 
good heads. 
Our Lettuce 
Seed is very 
carefully se¬ 
lected and will 
please the 
most critical 
gardeners.
