How to Grow Lettuce 
Lettuce grows best during the cool seasons of the year, 
and in a rich, moist, cool soil, so that the seed should be 
sown thinly in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked, 
in rows | to I'/ ft. apart, and covered with |/p in. of fine 
soil. Several successive sowings may follow about two weeks 
apart, then discontinue sowing until late summer when they 
may be made to provide lettuce during the fall. Thin head- 
ing varieties to stand | ft. apart; loosehead or cutting va- 
rieties, 4 to 6 in apart. Pkt. will sow 50 ft. of row; | oz. 
300 ft.
