LETTUCE 
CULTURE—One ounce will sow 150 feet or drill, two pounds 
an acre. Lettuce is a hardy plant and will stand a low degree 
of temperature; however, a moderate temperature is desirable 
during the growing period. Lettuce stands cold much better 
than heat, making it impossible to produce lettuce of good 
quality during the hot summer months. Hot weather causes 
the plants to go to seed instead of heading. 
Lettuce requires considerable soil moisture; however, an 
excess of moisture may cause stem rot. A light, loamy soil, 
enriched with well-rotted manure, is best adapted for the 
successful growing of lettuce. If planted on poor soil the heads 
will be small and leaves tough. As soon as the ground can be 
successfully worked, sow in drills 15 to 20 inches apart, one- 
half to one inch deep. Thin the plants 8 to 15 inches apart in 
the row. Large headed varieties, like New York, thin to 15 
inches in the row.
