CRISP, HEALTHFUL AND 

Lettuce Culture 
Plant as soon as ground can be worked, light 
frosts do not harm this crop. Some gardeners have 
good success with lettuce seeded in the late fall just 
before the ground freezes. Sow .seed sparingly, 
usually lettuce is seeded too heavy. In leaf varie- 
ties plants should be thinned to 4 or 5inches. Head- 
ing varieties should be 1 foot apart. Rows should 
be 12 to 24 inches apart. This is a cool weather 
plant and will grow best in the early spring or fall. 
Start heading varieties in’ a coldframe or hotbed 
and set out as early as possible. A packet of seed 
will plant 50 feet or more.
