LETTUCE 
September to March 
Sow lettuce seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Make rows the 
same as for carrots and beets. Sow the seed thinly, letting it run out slowly 
from corner of packet. Cover with about 1%4 to Y2 inch of soil and press down 
slowly and firmly. Thin plants out a little if they look too crowded when they 
come up. Thin head lettuce plants so that they stand about eight to ten inches 
apart in the row. Rows should be at least 12 inches apart. Lettuce does best 
when the weather is cool cnd moist. Requires a rich soil and plenty of moisture 
and a quick, steady growth from the time the seeds are planted. 1 ounce will 
sow 150 feet of row and the acre requires 2 to 3 pounds of seed.
