LETTUCE #ics~ 
Lettuce requires rich, moist soil, clean and thorough cultivation, 
and plenty of water. Make your first plantings in boxes or hotbeds 
and harden by exposure; later plant outside and transplant 6 to 8 
- inches apart in 18-inch rows; or plant in 18-inch rows and thin out. 
The curled varieties planted thickly make a beautiful border, the 
rows being thinned out by pulling as wanted. For a constant sup- 
ply plant every three weeks—lettuce may be had all seasons of the 
year. An ounce will produce about 1,500 plants; 2 pounds will make 
plants enough for an acre. 
230. Wood’s Cabbage Lettuce (6 Pays) —If asked to 
name the most satisfactory 
all-round lettuce, we would 
unhesitatingly name Wood’s 
Cabbage. It may be planted 
in the early spring, in the 
later summer, in the fall, and 
it is fine for forcing in hotbed, 
making a medium large, firm 
head that blanches_ nicely. 
The quality is excellent, the 
flavor sweet and buttery. You 
will like it. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c;
