RR RR RE A TT NS ST A ES 
OLD GARDENER SAYS.... 
Head lettuce is fine if you like it, but did 
you ever notice that all the fancy chefs in 
the big name restaurants use leaf lettuce? 
They pay big money for it, too, in com- 
parison with head lettuce because it is such 
a perishable commodity. By growing your 
own, you can enjoy this luxury for practi- 
cally nothing. And even the fancy chefs 
usually have to take some commercial 
variety rather than some superbly flavored 
home garden variety. 
By the way, don’t pull leaf lettuce plants 
up by the roots. Cut off the bunch of 
leaves, with a stump about 1%” long left 
in the ground. This stump will throw new 
leaves and produce a second crop far 
quicker than you could grow it from seed. 
Lettuce is best when it grows quickly. This 
means using plenty of water and a light 
feeding with nitrate of soda, ammonium sul- 
fate or some good general mixed fertilizer 
scattered between the rows about the time 
the third pair of leaves unfolds. By water- 
ing in this side dressing of fertilizer you 
get it to work quickly, and furnish the 
necessary water to get it moving into plant 
tissues.
