HOW TO GROW LETTUCE. To grow head Lettuce early, 
sow the seed in February or March in boxes or flats or in hot- 
beds in close rows. When.an inch or more high, transplant to 
other flats or coldframe. Set plants about 2 inches apart each 
way. From there set out in the garden as soon as the soil is 
warm, placing the plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 12 inches 
apart. Where there are no hotbeds or flats, sow the seed out- 
side when weather permits and transplant outside. For loose- 
leaf or cutting Lettuce, sow the seed either broadcast or in 
rows; make sowings every 2 weeks for Lettuce all summer, 
and cut as it comes. Sowing in rows is best, for then seed can 
be covered and plants cultivated. One ounce will produce about 
2,000 plants.
