Lettuce 
Lettuce requires rich, moist soil, clean and thorough cultivation, and plenty of 
water. Make your plantings in boxes or hotbeds and harden by exposure; later 
plant outside and transplant 8 to 12 inches apart in 18-inch rows; or plant in 18- 
inch rows and thin out. The curled varieties planted thickly make a beautiful 
border, the rows being thinned out by pulling as wanted. For a constant supply 
plant every three weeks—lettuce may be had all seasons of the year. An ounce 
will produce about 1,500 plants; 2 pounds will make plants enough for an acre. 
230. WOOD'S CABBAGE LET- 
TUCE (65 Days)—If asked to 
name the most satisfactory all- 
round lettuce, we would unhesi- 
tatingly name Wood's Cab- 
bage. May be planted in the 
early spring, in the later sum- 
mer, in the fall, and it is fine for 
forcing in hotbed, making a me- 
dium large, firm head that 
blanches nicely. The quality is 
excellent, the flavor sweet and 
buttery. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20c¢; '/% Ib.

Kohl Rabi 
The edible part is the turnip-shaped bulb that 
grows above ground. Combines the flavors of 
the cabbage and turnip and makes a splendid

drills as early as the ground can be worked, 
thinning out to stand 5 to 6 inches in the row. 
For a succession, plant every two weeks till end
