Liefgreen’s Lettuce for Home and Market 
Growing Conditions Are Different 
in Arizona! 
It is just this difference in growing conditions that prompted us to include specific 
instructions in our catalog. We are trying to convey ideas for profitable gardening, 
and though we realize they may not be infallible, we are doing: our level best to 
better the understanding of gardening in Arizona and the southwest. 
Most recommendations for planting are, of necessity, general—that is, done on a 
national scale and do not consider our specific problems. 
In southern Arizona we have open winters, with occasional ‘'’cold snaps’’ which 
never prohibit planting of root and top vegetables (except all vine crops). The lower 
temperatures seem to discourage garden enthusiasm for no real reason. Germination 
of seed is slower and maturity dates are extended but do not overlook the following: 
Start in late Aug. or Ist of Sept. and throughout the winter: 
LEAF CROPS—Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Endive, Mustard, Kale, Cress, Celery, 
Herbs, Parsley and Kohl-rabi. 
ROOT CROPS—Beets, Carrots, Onions, Parsnip, Radish, Salsify, Turnips, Rutabaga. 
Sow late in July to late Nov. and again in early December: 
TOP HEADING VEGETABLES—Cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli. 
PEAS—Sow August 20 for fall crop. In November and December for spring crop. We 
have numerous calls for peas in spring—the result of eastern methods and catalogs— 
but the deadline for even ''Early Peas’’ here is February, because peas do not thrive 
in the warm’ weather. 
The point we wish to make is this: Our recommendations are carefully prepared 
with only one thought in mind—to make your garden profitable to you. Better seeds, 
properly planted and tended are the most important factors to successful gardens.

LIEFGREEN SEED CO., Phoenix, Arizona 
Lettuce, Arizona Wonderful 
LETTUCE 
CULTURE—Lettuce is best suited to rich, 
light, loamy soil and should never be 
planted in worn-out soils. At planting time 
the soil should be in the best of condition. 
Sow seed on ridges in rows 18 inches apart 
and when plants are large enough thin to 
10 to 15 inches apart. Run the water in fur- 
rows between the ridges and never allow 
the water to touch the plants. 
When lettuce is planted early in hot 
ground plant 2 pounds of seed to the acre. 
During the winter season, when the soil is 
cool, 1% pounds per acre is plenty.
