Culture. Lettuce requires a rich soil, plenty of moisture, and 
@ quick, steady growth from. the time seeds are planted, until 
the heads are ready for use. The most common causes of failure 
to get Lettuce to head properly are too late ‘planting and not 
giving the plants sufficient room for developing. Lettuce seed 
is difficult, to germinate in hot weather. We suggest the seed be 
first soaked in ice-water for an hour, then wrapped in dampened 
paper or.cheese-cloth and placed in the refrigerator. for 10 to 
12 hours prior to planting. Spread seed out on dry paper in - 
shade and dry slightly. Immediately broadcast on good moist 
seed-bed, or sow 8 to 10 inches apart in rows 15 to 18 inches 
apart, covering with less than % inch of fine soil. One ounce 
will sow 150 feet of row; 2 to 3 pounds an acre,
