New York No. 12 Lettuce 
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 
apart both ways. Extra rich, mellow soil, high 
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 
inches apart in row.
