CULTURE. Sow in seed bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked and at intervals 
thereafter. When plants have made 2 or 3 leaves, transplant into rows, 15 inches apart and 1 foot 
apart in the row. For early forcing, sow in hot-bed from commencement to middle of winter. Let- 
tuce requires very rich, moist soil, and will do better when transplanted. For general crop, sow 
out doors as early in the spring as ground can be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin to 10 
inches apart in the rows.
