Leaves broad and flat 40 5 Lettuce Forty to Fifty Days from Two Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Three Pounds to the Acre. Seeding to Maturity. To have fine Lettuce in early Spring, sow in seed-bed from commencement to middle of Autumn. During Winter protect the plants by a box covered with window sash or with litter. Early in the Spring transplant some into rich ground. The others force under the sash. Or in early Spring sow in a hot-bed and transplant, but Autumn-sown plants are best. For a later supply, sow in drills when the Cherry is in bloom; when up a few inches, thin out, leaving plants at proper distances; this is a better plan than transplanting late in the season. For this purpose use Select Big Boston, Landreths' Forcing, Virginia Solid Header and varieties selected as standard sorts by reason of their ability to resist heat and the longer time they are in condition for the table than some other kinds which shoot to seed as soon as the head is formed.
