LETTUCE 
F To grow head Lettuce early, sow the seed in February or March in boxes, flats or in hotbeds 
in rows. When an inch high, transplant to coldframes. From there set out in the garden as soon 
as the soil is warm, placing the plants 5 to 7 inches apart in rows while the rows should be 12 to 
18 inches apart. Where there is no hotbed, sow seed outside when ground is warm and transplant. 
For-looseleaf or curly-leaved sorts, sow the seed either broadcast or in rows; make sowings every 
couple of weeks for Lettuce all Summer, and cut as it comes. By sowing in rows the plants can be 
cultivated. Sow seed the last of August and in September to be transplanted to the coldframe in 
October. One ounce will sow 300 feet of row, 4 to 5 lbs. for an acre.
