LETTUCE 
With the discovery of its valuable health-giving vitamins, 
Lettuce has become a year-round table necessity. It is so easily 
grown that no garden need be without a generous supply. 
Culture. Lettuce requires a rich soil, plenty of moisture, and 
a quick, steady growth from the time seeds are planted until

to get Lettuce to head properly are too late planting and not 
giving the plants sufficient room for developing. Lettuce seed 
is difficult to germinate in hot weather. We suggest the seed be 
first soaked in ice-water for an hour, then wrapped in dampened 
paper or cheese-cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 10 to 

12 hours prior to planting.
