CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. One ounce to 150 feet of 
drill. Lettuce requires rich soil to grow best quality. Mix 
pulverized hen manure with the soil and sow seed very 
early in the spring. For Leaf Lettuce, sow in rows twelve 
inches apart and do not thin until plants are big enough 
to use. Head Lettuce should be sown in rows twelve 
inches apart and thinned to eight inches apart in the row. 
During warm weather, germination may be greatly 
aided in firming the seed bed, and sowing the seed shallow. 
Keep the soil moist until germination is completed.
