LETTUGE 
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. Lettuce requires a rich soil, plenty of moisture, and 
a quick, steady growth from the time seeds are planted until 
the heads are ready for use. The most common causes of failure 
to get Lettuce to head properly are too late planting and not 
giving the plants sufficient room for developing. Lettuce seed 
is difficult to germinate in hot weather. We suggest the seed be 
first soaked in ice-water for an hour, then wrapped in dampened 
paper or cheese-cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 10 to 
12 hours prior to planting. Spread seed out on dry paper in 
shade and dry slightly. Immediately broadcast on good moist 
seed-bed, or sow 8 to 10 inches apart in rows 15 to 18 inches 
apart, covering with Jess than ¥% inch of fine soil. One ounce 
will sow 150 feet of row; 2 to 3 pounds, an acre, 
324 Grand Rapids. A loose leaf type. Best for forcing.

REUTER'S FLORIDA ICEBERG 
320 80 days.- A new strain of Iceberg developed largely 
for the 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, 
crisp 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- 
4 a ; tuce with enthusiasm. This variety should be grown 
slowly and with less fertilizer than other types. Every 
home gardener in the South should give this remark- 
able new strain a trial. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25¢; %4 lb.
