LETTUCE, GREAT LAKES 
A&M LETTUCE 
Culture—Sow 2 pkts. to 50-foot row, 2 lbs. per acre. Lettuce can be sown any month in Southern 
California. Sow the seed on ridges 14 to 18 inches wide, covering to not more than ¥% inch 
deep. Thin to 8 to 10 inches when the plants are about 1 inch high. Lettuce requires good soil 
with plenty of moisture to keep the plants growing steadily. 
208 Great Lakes—A crisp head variety and an 
All-American Award winner. Its ability to form 
large, hard heads in warm weather, resistance 
to tip burn and freedom from early seed stalk 
development makes this a very popular lettuce.

first cutting. The heads are unusually solid, 
practically round, up to 7 inches in diameter 
and 2 pounds in weight. Outer leaves are
