GERMAIN'S Los Angeles Since 1871. LETTUCE Note—Prices listed are postpaid. Lechuga Salat Laitue Culture. A world wide grown vegetable because it can be quickly and easily grown. Is extremely palatable and very nu- tritious. Every garden deserves a lettuce plot. The quickest growing types are the loose leaf varieties, and we suggest for the home garden a plot of loose leaf and a bed of the heading type. The loose leaf varieties will have matured and be used up by the time the heading types are matured. The loose leaf Lettuce does not form heads but where the plants are grown a distance apart they make a large rounded cluster of leaves. Leaves are heavily crumpled and attractive in appear- ance, crisp and tender. We advise the planting of two ounces of seed for a 150 foot row and if the lettuce is too thick, thin after it has attained a size which can be pulled and used for salad or it can be thinned out when young and transplanted to another section of the garden. Lettuce needs considerable moisture, ap- plied often but not too heavily and plenty of cultivation to obtain best results. Head Lettuce is so called because of its extremely solid or compact formation. Such types as Los Angeles Market, Wonder- ful, New York, Big Boston and Iceberg, may be depended upon to satisfactorily mature a firm cabbage-like head. Heading varieties should be sown the same as loose leaf except that it should by all means be thinned out when the fourth leaf appears leaving plants in the row 10 inches apart. A rich pliable medium loam soil is best. Cos or Romaine Paris White Cos. The best of the Cos Lettuce, very crisp and tender. Requires plenty of room and plenty of water to make good head.
