With the discovery of its valuable health-giving vitamins, 
Lettuce has become a year-round table necessity. It is so easily 
srown that no garden need be without a-generous supply. 
Culture. Lettuce requires a rich soil, plenty of moisture, and 
a quick, steady growth from the time seeds are planted until 
the heads are ready for use. The most common causes of failure 
to get Lettuce to head properly are too late planting and not 
giving the plants sufficient room for-developing. Lettuce seed, 
is difficult to germinate in hot weather. We suggest the seed be 
first soaked in ice-water for an hour, then wrapped in: dampened - 
paper or cheese-cloth and placed in the refrigerator for 10 to 
12 hours prior to planting. Spread seed out on dry paper in 
shade and dry slightly. Immediately broadcast on good moist 
seed-bed, or sow 8 to 10 inches apart in rows 15 to 18 - inches 

apart, covering with less than %
