LETTUCE 
Market Gardeners please ask for quantity prices. 
Lettuce is a cool weather crop and where the climate is not too severe it may be 
grown during the winter months. Head varieties especially require cool weather 
for the heads to be firm. San Francisco summer climate is ideal for lettuce and it 
may also be grown during the winter months.
