The outer green leaves are best for they contain an excellent 
percentage of vitamin A and a good supply of vitamin C. 

Time to Sow—TIf a very early crop is desired, seed may be sown about 
March 15 indoors in flats or in a coldframe; outdoor sowings may be made 
as early as April | and successively until about June |. As Lettuce prefers 
cool growing weather it is best to discontinue sowings during the hot 
Summer months except for certain varieties. A Fall crop may be sown 
from August | to August 15. 
Soil—Indoor sowings should be made in finely prepared loam. Any 
well-drained and enriched garden soil will suffice for outdoor plantings. 
Planting—Sow the seeds outdoors in rows 2 feet apart and cover 
with not over 4 inch of soil. When the plants are large enough to handle 
Ge out and use or transplant to other rows, allowing | foot between 
plants.
