Time to Sow—lf a very early crop is desired, seed may be sown about March 15 indoors 
in flats or in a coldframe; outdoors sowings may be made as early as April | and successively 
until about June |. As Lettuce prefers cool growing weather it is best to discontinue sowings 
during the hot Summer months except for certain varieties. A Fall crop may be sown from 
August | to August 15. 
Soil—Indoor sowings should be made in finely prepared loam. Any well-drained and 
enriched garden soil will suffice for outdoor plantings. 
Planting—Sow the seeds outdoors in rows 2 feet apart and cover with not over !4 inch 
of soil. When the plants are large enough to handle thin out and use or transplant to other 
rows, allowing | foot between plants. 1 ounce of seed should produce about 3000 plants.
