LETTUCE 
Culture Lettuce is quite hardy and may be sown early 
in the Spring. It thrives on rich and well-cultivated soil, 
the cabbage-heading varieties especially requiring better soil 
than the loose leaf sorts. May also be sown in hotbeds and 
transplanted after being hardened by exposure to the air. 
An ounce will seed 400 feet of row; 3 lb. per acre.
