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 variety Summer 
Triumph is recommended as it does not tend to 
run to seed during hot weather. Cos or Romaine 
varieties may also be grown during the summer.

blanch the leaves.
