LETTUCE 
Oz. Will Sow 300 Feet of Row and Makes About 600 Plants 
CULTURE—For very early crop, seed should be sown in hotbeds. Transplant plants to open ground fairly well in 
season. The plants being hardy, will stand quite a bit of cold weather. The loose heading varieties often do well when 
sown broadcast, or they may be sown in 1 foot rows and thinned out to 3 inches when the plants begin to spread. Head- 
ing varieties should be sown very early in the Spring, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart. After well up, thin out to 8 to 10 
inches apart in the row. Cultivate often. If ground is not very fertile, use Nitrate of Soda or High Grade Fertilizer 
which will add to the crispness of the Lettuce by promoting rapid growth.
