Two ounces of seed to 100 yards of row. Lettuce thrives best in good, rich, moist ground, and is a universal favorite, is almost free from insects and disease, which makes it of easy culture to every one. To grow fine head lettuce for the principal early crop, sow the seed in September in the open ground. Transplant, when large enough, into cold frames, and protect the plants during the winter in the same manner as for early cabbage, then set the plants out early in April; or sow the seeds in hot beds in February or March, and afterward, for early salad, transplant into a sheltered border with a southern exposure. For successive crops, sowings may be made in open ground as early as the spring opens, and continued until July. Always sow thinly and thin out well, or the plants will not be strong. The last spring and summer sowings had better be grown where sown, being thinned out to stand ten or twelve inches apart, or transplanted into a cool, moist place. When wanted for cutting young, as a salad, sow rather thickly in rows or Simpson's Black Seeded. A variety of the Curled Simpson, but growing much larger and of excellent quality. One of the best for forcing. Pkt. 5c: loz. 10c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb. 90c. Simpson' Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images
