14 GROWERS ARE PLEASED WITH FORD’S LETTUCE 

FORD’S SOUND 
LEAF and HEADING 
Lettuce may be grown in 
hotbeds in winter, but for or- 
dinary garden sow as_ soon 
as spring opens and there- 
after in succession once in two 
or three weeks. Make the 
rows 15 inches apart and cov- 
er \% inch deep with fine soil, 
which should be firmed above 
the seeds. When the plants 
are up thin out to 3 or 4 inches 
apart and when those remain- 
ing are large 
enough for use, 
every other 
one may be 
taken out and 
leave room for 
the remaining 
ones to grow. 
The head va- 
rieties should 
have 10 to 12 
inches of space 
between the 
plants to form 
good heads.
