Mustard is grown principally for greens,

Mustard does best when sown so that it 
matures during the cool of spring or early 
fall. Sow in rows 18 inches apart, and 
thin plants to 6 inches distance. Mustard 
goes to seed quickly, so successive sow- 
ings are necessary for continuous cropping.

Lettuce for Vitamins and Health! 
Lettuce is one of the oldest vegetables and 
is of unknown origin. Its continual and 
widespread usage has been due largely 
to the constant breeding of better types for 
uniformity, disease resistance and high 
quality. The seed germinates quickly and 
can be planted as soon as cold days are 
past; January and February for the main 
spring crop and July and August for the 
main fall and winter crop of the heading 
types. The loose leaf type matures much 
quicker than the heading types and when 
planted at the same time will be through 
before the heading type comes in. Seed 
may be drilled in and thinned out to 10 
inches apart in rows 15 to 18 inches apart 
oz may be sown in a cold frame and trans- 
planted out when in the four-leaf stage.
