LETTUCE 
Heading 
Varieties 
Such quick-growing crops as leaf Lettuce 
and Radishes may be grown between rows of 
vegetables requiring a longer season. By the 
time the main crop needs the full space al- 
lotted to it, the quicker.one has already been 
gathered. Everyone with limited garden space 
should follow this method.

or Cantaloupe 
Sow the seed after the soil has warmed up 
in hills 5 to 6 feet apart, digging the soil to a 
depth of a foot and mixing in plenty of ma- 
nure or fertilizer with the bottom soil. No 
more than 3 or 4 strong plants should be left 
in each hill. It is a good plan to start the seed 
in a hotbed or box indoors, using dirt bands 
or pots, and setting them in the garden after 
the soil has become warm. 
An ounce of seed will plant about 50 
hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre
