CULTURE. Sow in seed bed as early in spring as the ground can be worked and at intervals 
thereafter. When plants have made 2 or 3 leaves, transplant into rows, 15 inches apart and 1 foot 
apart in the row. For early forcing, sow in hot-bed from commencement to middle of winter. Let- 
tuce requires very rich, moist soil, and will do better when transplanted. For general crop, sow

inches apart in the rows.
