LETTUCE 
Lettuce does not stand hot weather well but is 
not harmed by mild frosts; the earliest sorts can 
therefore be transplanted from cold frames to the 
rows, after hardening by gradual exposure, in the 
first weeks of spring and the later sorts sown 54 
inch deep in the open then. Rich well-prepared 
soil is advisable as the plants must be grown 
quickly. Allow 54 oz., of seed per 100 ft. of row.
