Kilgore’s Vegetable Seeds are Especially Adapted to Florida 39 
Great Lakes Lettuce 
Lettuce 
Sow '% to 1 pound in seedbed to plant an 
acre, or plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre in field. 
For the garden make two plantings at differ- 
ent times. Sow 1 packet in seedbed for 60 to 
80 plants to set 50 to 75 ft. of row at each 
planting. 
Culture. First sowings are made in Florida 
the beginning of September and continue 
until March. Low, damp soil is best suited 
for this crop. Lettuce must be grown rapidly 
in order to give it size, tenderness, crispness 
and high edible quality. Therefore, the land 
must be highly fertilized and moist. In Flor- 
ida about one ton per acre of 4-7-5 fertilizer 
is commonly used for the Boston, Romaine 
and leaf types, where 800 to 1200 pounds per 
acre of a 4-8-8 fertilizer is recommended for 
the Iceberg type. Broadcast the seed on good 
moist seedbeds that have been thoroughly 
prepared, or sow in rows six inches apart 
and use a light roller to press seed into soil. 
A pound of seed sown broadcast plants a bed 
three feet by a hundred yards. Place burlap 
or well-washed old fertilizer sacks over the 
beds until seeds sprout. Seedbeds should be 
kept thoroughly moist at all times after the 
seed is planted. 
The number of days in parentheses after 
each variety named represents the average 
time required to develop marketable heads 
from the planting of seed in seedbed or in the 
field.
