Herbs 
Herbs delight in a rich, mellow soil. Sow in early spring in shallow 
drills one foot apart; cover lightly with fine soil, and when up a few 
inches thin out, or transplant into prepared beds. Care should be taken 
to harvest properly. Do this on a dry day, just before they come into 
full bloom; dry quickly in the shade, pack closely in bottles or dry 
boxes to exclude the air. Varieties marked (*) are perennials.

Lettuce 
CULTURE—One ounce will sow 150 feet ~. drill, two 
pounds an acre. Lettuce is a hardy plant and will stand a 
low degree of temperature; however, a moderate temperature 
is desirable during the growing period. Lettuce stands cold 
much better than heat, making it impossible to produce let- 
tuce of good quality during the hot summer months. Hot 
weather causes the plants to go to seed instead of heading. 
Lettuce requires considerable soil moisture; however, an 
excess of moisture may cause stem rot. A light, loamy soil, 
enriched with well-rotted manure, is best adapted for the 
successful growing of lettuce. If planted on poor soil the 
heads will be small and leaves tough. 
As soon as the ground can be successfully worked, sow in 
drills 15 to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. Thin 
the plants 8 to 15 inches apart in the row. Large headed 
varieties, like New York Wonderful or Iceberg, thin to 15 
inches in the row.
