LETTUCE. 
Seed for the first outdoor crop Is usually sown In hotbeds In February, and the seed¬ 
lings transplanted to the garden in April, 8 to 12 inches apart, in rows 12 inches apart. 
For a succession until frost, sow in drills in the open ground at intervals of every two 
or three weeks, and thin the plants to stand 6 to 8 inches apart. For plants to force 
in hotbeds from November until spring, sow seed in hotbeds in the fall, and cover up as 
winter approaches, until the plants are required for use. Or the seed may be sown in 
hotbeds early in winter and the seedlings transplanted when large enough into fine and 
well-prepared garden soil. One-fourth oz. to 100 feet of drill; 2 pounds to the acre.
