- HEAD LETTUCE 
Head lettuce may be started 
in hot beds or flats indoors and 
transplanted like cabbage or it 
may be sown in the open 
ground. Regardless of method it 
must be thinned or reset to at 
least 1 foot each way in the 
TOws. 
10c; 1 oz., 
Hot weather sometimes 
causes the heads to shoot to 
seed and to avoid this it is ad- 
visable to get plants permanent- 
ly located as early in the spring 
as possible. Fall crops are very 
successful—setting or thinning 
the plants about August 5th-10th.

166—ROMAINE OR COS LETTUCE

even the hot summer months when other kinds are bound 
o ‘‘shoot’’ to seed. They require the same cultural treatment 
and produce nicely folded heads which have an appetizing, 
piquant flavor.
