DWARF GREEN GERMAN. Sow in autumn for 'sprouts' or 'greens.' Hardy, prolific, flavor similar to cabbage. Desirable in every garden. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, y± lb. 30c. LETTUCE. CULTURE. Lettuce is grown under glass, during the winter months, and brings a fair profit. For general crops sow as soon as the ground is open, in drills fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and thin out to four or six inches in the rows. As they do best when growing quickly, the soil should be rich and well worked. The seed may be sown every two weeks. If wanted as a cut salad, sow thickly in rows, or broadcast, and cut when needed.
