HOW TO GROW LETTUCE 
Plant % oz. to 100 feet of row, 3 pounds per acre. 
@The most favorable conditions for growing good lettuce are rich 
soil, plenty of moisture, and steady growth from the time the seeds 
are planted until time for use. Seed germinates quickly and may be 
planted as soon as the cold wet days of spring are past. Sow 
about 15 to 18 seeds to the foot of row to a depth of not more than 
% inch, 
When growing Head Lettuce, it is necessary that the heading sea- 
son take place during cool weather. For this reason it is a good 
policy in sections where hot weather sets in early in the season, to sow 
the seed in boxes indoors or in hotbeds and set out as early as weather 
conditions permit. If this is not practical, seed may be sown in the 
open ground as early as soil and weather conditions are favorable. Thin 
10 inches apart in the row and give thorough cultivation. A side 
dressing of nitrate of soda, given as soon as the plants have made some 
growth, will be found benefivial.
