amount of heat. Should be started in hotbeds 
early in March and transplanted to four or six 
inches apart. Eggplants are very tender and will 
not stand frost.

THE SNOWY RANGE SEED COMPANY 
Lettuce 
CULTURE 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill, two pounds 
an acre. Lettuce is a hardy plant and will stand 
a low degree of temperature; however, a moder- 
ate temperature is desirable during the growing 
period. Lettuce stands cold much better than 
heat, making it impossible to produce lettuce of 
good quality during the hot summer months. Hot 
weather causes the plants to go to seed instead 
of heading. 
Lettuce requires considerable soil moisture; 
however, an excess of moisture may cause stem 
rot. A light, loamy soil, enriched with well-rotted 
manure, is best adapted for the successful grow- 
ing of lettuce. If planted on poor soil the heads 
will be small and leaves tough. 
As soon as the ground can be successfully 
worked, sow in drills 15 to 20 inches apart, one- 
half to one inch deep. Thin the plants 8 to 15 
inches apart in the row. Large headed varieties, 
like New York Wonderful or Iceberg, thin to 15 
inches in the row. 3
