CULTURE—Sow in rich, well prepared soil, as soon as cold winter

% inch in beds or outdoors. Seed germinates quickly and growth 
is best in cool weather. Good heads depend on good seed, keeping 
a steady growth with fertilization, moisture and cultivation. Light 
feeding, as with nitrate of soda, after plants have some size, is 
beneficial. Loose-leaf types may be thinned and used as they be- 
come crowded. Those marked ‘“‘H’”’ are heading; those marked
