FORD’S SOUND LETTUCE SEED 
LEAF and HEADING 
Lettuce may be grown in 
hotbeds in winter, but for or¬ 
dinary garden sow as soon 
as spring opens and there¬ 
after in succession once in two 
or three weeks. Make the 
rows 15 inches apart and cov¬ 
er ^ 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 remain¬ 
ing 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.

Seed is v e r j'
