Lettuce has been cultivated in Europe since 1562. The origin before that is unknown. One ounce of seed will 
plant 200 feet of row. Plant three pounds to the acre. Breaks ground in 8 days under favorable conditions. 
To have outstanding Lettuce in early Spring, sow in seed bed ihe September preceding. Protect the plants during 
the Winter in a box covered with glass or litter. Early in the Spring transplant half into rich ground. The other 
half force to an earlier development under sash. For a later supply, sow in drills; when up a few inches, thin 
out plants 10 to 12 inches apart for heading varieties and 8 to 8 inches for loose-leaved. Plant seed very shallow. 
Use plenty of water, thoroughly cultivate and if possible shade lettuce in the hottest weather.
