Herbs 
Most varieties of Herbs thrive best in sandy soil 
and some are stronger and better flavored when 
grown on rather poor soil. Sow as early as possible, 
in drills sixteen to eighteen inches apart, taking 
pains that the soil is fine and pressed firmly over 
the seed, or they may be planted as a second 
crop, the seeds sown in beds in April and the 
plants set out in June. Most of them should be 
cut when in bloom, wilted in the sun and 
thoroughly dried in the shade.

Lettuce 
Culture—To be of best quality, Lettuce should be quickly grown. Likes plenty of moisture and fertility, 
will stand cool, even cold, soil and weather. Sow seed thickly, covering 18 to 14 inch deep in rows 12 to 
16 inches apart, thin as soon as well started to stand 6 to 8 inches apart. Heading varieties need more 
room and transplanting. Plants for extra early may be started under glass or in a box in a sunny window. 
Any sunny corner of the garden may be prepared early and a little Lettuce started. One ounce should 
sow about a 125 foot row and produce around 3000 plants, 3 lbs. will produce enough for an acre.
