With the discovery of its valuable health-giving vitamins, 
Lettuce has become a year-round table necessity. It is so easily 
grown that no garden need be without a generous supply. 
Culture. First sowings are made in Lower South during Sep- 
tember and continued through fall months. Requires rich soil, 
plenty of moisture, and a quick, steady growth from the time 
seeds are planted until the heads are ready for use. Broadcast 
the seed on good moist beds or sow in rows 6 inches apart, cov- 
ering not over % inch deep. Place burlap or old fertilizer sacks 
over the beds to protect from extreme heat until seeds sprout. 
One common cause of failure to get Lettuce to head properly is 
not giving plants sufficient room for development. When leaves 
are 2 to 3 inches long, transplant to open ground in rows 15 to 
18 inches apart and 8 to 10 inches apart in the rows. Com- 
mence shallow cultivation when plants are 10 days old and re- 
peat frequently. One ounce will sow 150 feet of row; 2 to 3 
pounds, an acre.

320 80 days. A new strain of Iceberg developed largely 
for thé South and more especially Florida. The very 
favorable results obtained with this special strain in- 
dicates a strong likelihood of rapid expansion in the 
commercial production of Lettuce in the Southeast. 
Withstands heat and high humidity, is very slow to 
go to seed, and makes large, firm, hard heads even in 
hot weather, when other strains under the same condi- 
tions, either’ develop seed stalks or make spongy heads. 
The thick, smooth leaves fold well ‘over the heads. 
Heads have a very large frame, with a solid, compact 
base, are round in shape and medium green in color. 
Produces large and heavy-heads that are very solid, 
erisp and tender. Shipments made by prominent Florida 
shippers to Northern markets last winter brought as 
good prices as California-grown Iceberg. The produce 
merchants and trade accepted this Florida grown Let- 
tuce with enthusiasm. ‘This variety should be grown 
; slowly and with less fertilizer than other types. Every 
Reuter’s Florida Iceberg Lettuce home gardener in the South should give this remark-
