Ya ounce will sow 150 feet of row. 
Sow in greenhouse or hotbed in February or March, 
transplanting to cold frames when ready and to open 
ground in April, or for later use sow in open ground in 
April in rows 18 inches apart. Succession sowings may be 
made until August. For summer sowing the variety Sum- 
mer Triumph is recommended as it does not tend to run 
to seed during hot weather. Cos or Romaine varieties may 
also be grown during the summer. The heads should be 
tied at the top to better blanch the leaves.
