February to May, 
LETTUCE Beye: 
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 ~ows; 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.
