LETTUCE. Votttd) Safot One ounce will produce about 4,000 plants. Lettuce is a plant of most simple culture when grown in the open air. It requires rich soil, plenty of well-rotted manure, and abundant moisture. With these conditions, its growth is vigorous and rapid; and to be crisp and tender, it should be grown quickly. Of all the salad plants, lettuce easily takes the lead ; and no garden is worthy the name without its lettuce-beds. It has few, if any, insect enemies, and flourishes throughout the spring and summer months. Droughts and hot weather are its worst drawbacks, as during such periods it inclines to run up to seed. Seed may be sown in a frame in February or March, not much bottom-heat being required. The plants mav be set out as early as the ground can be worked, as light frosts will not injure them. Set in rows about eighteen inches apart, leaving eight or ten inches space between plants. For successive crops, sow every two weeks up to July. Hittinger's Belmont Forcing.
