Lettuce, New York 
To the connoisseur of table delicacies, the 
leek plant, a member of the onion -family, 
has a very special place. The long 
blanched neck of the leek has a definitely 
sweet flavor, and is a fine addition to soups 
and stews or may be creamed. Hill up the 
plants in the rows as they mature and 
blanch as celery. May be harvested in fall 
and stored in sand in root cellar.

LETIUCE 
Delicious for Salads— 
Important for Vitamins! 
The Lago varieties of lettuce are produced entirely on the rich alluvial 
lands of the Sacramento Valley. They are grown from selected stock seed 
year after year and the Lago Seed House is proud to offer them to their 
clientele of garden customers, for their high quality, productiveness and 
resistance to disease. Lettuce seed can be planted in the early spring 
and will germinate quickly. The loose leaf types mature in five weeks— 
the head lettuce in about 11 weeks. Make succession sowings each two 
weeks until early fall. Thin plants in the rows to 15 inches and give light 
cultivation.
