LEAF AND LOOSE HEAD 
VARIETIES 
CULTURE: Growing of the loose heading varieties 
is much the same as the New York varieties but much 
easier to grow. However, sow in 15-inch rows and 
thin the leaf varieties to 4 inches apart and the Big 
Boston to 7 inches apart as soon as a few leaves are 
formed. For an early crop plants can be sown in 
hotbeds and transplanted to the open field.
