LETTUCE 
( Italian — Lettuga) 
This vegetable grows best in a light, somewhat sandy soil, but one that 
is rich in nitrogen. This is best furnished by digging in a generous supply of 
well-rotted manure or shredded cattle manure. Sowings may be made from 
the time the frost has left the ground in the early Spring until latt? in August. 
The most difficult period in which to produce good heads is Midsummer. 
Watering is very necessary in hot, dry weather. Sow the seed in shallow drills 
and transplant so that the plants are about 1 foot apart. One ounce of seed 
will sow 250 feet of drill. This should produce about 4000 plants; 3 pounds 
to the acre.
