LETTUCE 
HOW TO GROW LETTUCE. To grow head Lettuce early, 
sow the seed in February or March in boxes or flats or in hot- 
beds in close rows. When an inch or more high, transplant to 
other flats or coldframe. Set plants about 2 inches apart each 
way. From there set out in the garden as soon as the soil is 
warm, placing the plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 12 inches 
apart. Where there are no hotbeds or flats, sow the seed out- 
side when weather permits and transplant outside. For loose- 
leaf or cutting Lettuce, sow the seed either broadcast or in 
rows; make sowings every 2 weeks for Lettuce all summer, 
and cut as it comes. Sowing in rows is best, for then seed can 
be covered and plants cultivated. One ounce will sow 4 rows, 
each 25 feet long.
