1 ounce will sow 150 feet of row. 
Sow in greenhouse or hotbed in February or 
March, transplanting to cold frames when ready 
and to open ground in April, or for later use 
sow in open ground in April in rows 18 inches 
apart. Succession sowings may be made until 
August. For summer sowing the varieties Bibb 
and Summer Triumph are recommended as they 
do not tend to run to seed during hot weather. 
Cos or Romaine varieties may also be grown 
during the summer. The heads should be tied 
at the top to better blanch the leaves.

Bibb after experiments of many years and
