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 142” 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, am- 
monium sulfate or some good general mixed 
fertilizer scattered between the rows about 
the time the third pair of leaves unfolds. ; 
By watering in this side dressing of 
fertilizer you get it to work quickly, and 
furnish the necessary water to get it mov- 
ing into plant tissues.
