Cu.tureE. Lettuce is now sown during al- 
most all seasons of the year. For outdoor 
use seed can be sown in well-manured hot- 
beds in February and March. Transplant there 
or outdoors when the weather will permit— 
10 inches apart in the row. If the Lettuce 
is not to head, sow thickly and cut as desired. 
For best results it is well to sow only the va- 
rieties suited to the different seasons and 
conditions. For winter use, sow seed in Sep- 
tember in hotbeds and follow it with other 
sowings for succession. 50 to 80 days. Soil
