LETTUCE 
CULTURE: Order 2 or 3 Packets so you can make several plantings and keep fresh, tender 
lettuce coming all the time. A packet will sow 40 to 50 feet. One ounce plants a row 150 to 
200 feet long. Loose Leaf Lettuce should be planted in the open ground as early as it can be 
worked. Head Lettuce should be started in cold frames and transplanted or sown in the open 
like Loose Leaf. Plants should be thinned to about 12 inches apart.
