LETTUCE 
Lactuca sativa 
Our stocks are bred for productiv- 
ity, uniformity, and high quality. The 
number of days represents the time 
required to develop marketable 
heads from the planting of seed, 
under average conditions. However, 
since the maturity of New York types 
varies with weather and growing 
conditions in the lettuce producing 
sections of California and Arizona, 
‘the time required to develop heads 
indicates relative maturity rather 
than exact period of growth. 
The letters b.s. indicate black see- 
ded varieties, and w.s. white seeded. 

If in doubt — Get back at Ease 
Plant ANTOINE SEEDS; they please 

For an early crop of Head Lettuce, 
sow the seed in February or March 
in the hothouse, or in boxes or flats 
in the house, and transplant as soon 
as the ground can be worked. Set 
in rows 18 inches apart and 8 to 10 
inches apart in row. Sow seed out- 
doors every two weeks for a suc- 
cession, covering lightly by raking, 
so that the birds do not get to it. It 
is best to sow lettuce in rows, as it 
can be cultivated. 

Grand Rapids, b.s. 
One of the most popular loose 
leaved varieties. Excellent for early 
planting outside, and for greenhouse 
forcing. Plants erect and compact; 
leaves light green, broad, wavy,

some sort; very tender and sweet
