Lettuce 
BARB ABIE TOLA (It.) 
One ounce of seed sows 250 feet of row; 3 lbs. per acre. 
Whether your yard be large or small, you can supply your table amply 
with this popular salad crop. Moist, rich soil and cool weather are 
required for the best growth. Many gardeners start their first crop 
indoors, later setting the young plants in the garden. Outdoors, suc¬ 
cessive seedings may be made from April to July or August. The non¬ 
heading varieties make a fair growth on poorer soils. They commonly 
are sown in a row or bed and permitted to grow unthinned, thus forcing 
them into a succulent tasty growth. Head Lettuce such as Imperial 847 
or Big Boston are spaced 10 to 12 inches between plants.

growing. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; V4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
