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 LETTUCE (65 Days)—If asked to name the 
most satisfactory all-round lettuce, we would unhesitatingly name 
Wood's Cabbage. May be planted in the early spring, in the later 
summer, 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. 10c; oz. 35¢; 1/4 Ib. 80c postpaid. 
242. ICEBERG 
(80 Days)—No _let- 
tuce is more crisp; the 
large ribs are like cel- 
ery stalks. A sure and 
reliable header even 
in summer. Forms a 
large compact head, 
very white inside; the 
quality is fine, being 
sweet, crisp and de- 
licious. A choice let- 
tuce for home gardens 
and nearby markets.
