CULTURE âEvery home garden should hold quantities of this best of all salad plants, and with the proper selection of varieties suitable for different seasons, a steady supply may be maintained from late ]\Iay until end of October. For the earliest supply sow seed of Loose-leaf and early Butterhead varieties like Drear's AU-Heart, under glass or indoors in boxes about IMarch 1st.
