had by sowing seed in hot- 
beds during February or 
March, and transplanting 
to the open ground in May. 
Seed is sown outdoors from 
April to August in drills 12 
inches apart and later 
thinned out to 10 inches in 
the row. Select a rich, 
moist soil if possible, as the 
quality of Lettuce depends 
largely upon how quickly 
it grows. The crisp heading 
varieties are especially pop-
