LETTUCE 
A packet will sow about 30 ft. of row; an ounce 250 feet. 
Culture—Lettuce grows quickly in cool seasons of the year and 
produces best in a rich, moist, cool soil. Make successive sowings 
until June and again in August and September. Head Lettuce 
should be thinned or transplanted a distance of about | foot 
apart. The loose leaf varieties may be thinned to 4 inches when

they get larger. Iceberg varieties are very popular for their 
crispness.

particularly as the cultivation of our plots was ‘only a
