PRICE’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 
LETTUCE 
To grow head Lettuce early, sow the seed in February or March in 
boxes, flats or in hotbeds in rows. When an inch high, transplant 
to cold frames. From there set out in the garden as soon as the soil 
is warm, placing the plants 5 to 7 inches apart in rows while the 
rows should be 12 to 18 inches apart. Where there is no hotbed, sow 
seed outside when ground is warm and transplant. For loose-leaf or 
curly-leaved sorts, sow the seed either broadcast or in rows; make 
sowings every couple of weeks for lettuce all summer, and cut as it 
comes. By sowing in rows the plants can be cultivated. Sow seed 
the last of August and in September to be transplanted to the cold- 
frame in October. One ounce will sow 300 feet of row. 4 to 5 Ibs. for 
an acre.
