To Make Head Lettuce Head 
Lettuce will seldom head in hot weather, 
unless grown in shade. It is a cool weather 
plant, doing best very early in spring, or 
late in fall, as head lettuce. The cool climate 
of the mountains is ideal for head lettuce. 
That’s where the carloads are now grown 
for shipping. This is becoming a big and 
profitable industry in Colorado, - 
Sowing head lettuce seed late in fall, just 
before ground freezes, is one good way to 
get an early start the next spring. Very 
early spring sowing—March or early April is 
good. Bear in mind that the ground should be 
good and rich, and that the plants should be 
thinned or transplanted to 6 to 10 inches 
apart. Then they should be hoed often, the 
oftener the better. You can’t expect to pluck 
large solid heads of lettuce from a bed in 
which the plants are as thick as the prover- 
bial hair on the proverbial dog’s back. 
Light green leaves 
with fringed edges. 
Leaves crimped; 
brownish-red. Early. 

Sow Lettuce seed in EARLY spring, 
When robins flit upon the wing, 
For brittle leaves and crispy heads. 
To make it head, thin out the beds.
