CULTURE. Sow in hotbed or 
Lettuce boxes in February or March 
and in open ground as soon 
as it can be worked; transplant to rows 8 inches

cultivation and moisture are demanded by lettuce 
to secure best results. Lettuce is hardy and makes 
better growth when mercury is below 60 degrees; 
when above 75 degrees the plant is soon drawn 
out of shape. Succession of plantings, at intervals 
of two weeks, after first outdoor planting is de- 
sirable. In August any of the varieties can be 
sown either outdoors or in frames. In October; 
Grand Rapids and Denver Market, may be planted 
in frame for winter. Always sow seed _ thin 
and then thin out plants to stand from 6 to 8
