LETTUCE 
Lettuce is the nation’s most popular vegetable 
for salads, and will grow in practically any 
good soil. The seed should be planted as soon 
as the soil can be worked in the spring, using 
a quarter ounce to the 100 feet of row. This thin 
planting of seed should be covered with one- 
half inch of fine soil. Since lettuce grows best 
during the cool seasons of the year, plantings 
should be made accordingly, or ‘the plants can 
be started in hotbeds and set outdoors as early 
as weather permits.
