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 looseleaf Lettuce does not form heads but where the plants are grown a distance apart they make a large rounded cluster of leaves. Leaves are heav- ily crumpled and attrac- tive in appearance, crisp and tender. We advise the planting of two ounces of seed for a 150 foot row and if the let- tuce is too thiek, thin after it has attained a size which can be pulled and used for salad or it can be thinned out when young and trans- planted to another section of the garden. Lettuce needs considerable moisture, applied often but not too heavily and plenty of eultivation to obtain best results. HEAD LETTUCE »u£ ^ ebxe; tremely solid or compact forma- tion. Such types as Los Angeles Market, 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 they 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. In field planting, plant on ridges. 14 to 18 inches wide and in double rows about 12 inches apa
