LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 
Sow in the open ground as early as possible, barely covering the seed. If the 
hotbed is used let it be started quite early. Give but little heat and plenty of 
water and air on fine days. Let plants in the beds be about 4 inches apart. As 
they increase in size thin them out or they will become weak. Plant for late use 
in a cool, partially shaded place in rich soil.
