Time to Sow—lf a very early crop is desired, seed may be sown about 
March 15 indoors in flats or in a coldframe; outdoors sowings may be 
made as early as April | and successively until about June 1. As Lettuce 
prefers cool growing weather it is best to discontinue sowings during the 
hot Summer months except for certain varieties. A Fall crop may be 
sown from August | to August 15. 
Soil—Indoor sowings should be made in finely prepared loam. Any 
well-drained and enriched garden soil will suffice for outdoor plantings. 
Planting—-Sow the seeds outdoors in rows 2 feet apart and cover 
with not over }4 inch of soil. When the plants are large enough to handle 
thin out and use or transplant to other rows, allowing | foot between 
plants. I ounce of seed should produce about 3000 plants
