ETTUCE is a plant of most simple culture when grown in the open air. It requires rich soil, plenty of weli-rotted manure, and abundant moisture. With these conditions, its growth is vigorous and rapid ; and to be crisp and tender, it should be grown quickly. Of all the salad plants, Lettuce easily takes the lead; and no garden is worthy the name without its; Lettuce beds. It has few, if any, insect enemies, and nourishes througnout the spring and summer months. Drouths and hot weather are its worst enemies, as during such periods it inclines to run up to seed. Seed maybe sown in a frame in February or March, not much bottom heat being required. The plants may be set out as early as the ground can be worked, as light frosts will not injure them. Set in rows about 18 inches apart, leaving 8 or 10 inches space between plants. For successive crops, sow every two weeks up to July. One ounce will produce 3,000 plants. —Improved "White-Seeded Tetinislball. Our Improved 'Dexter" strain, the very best for house culture; heads very firm and even; makes an excellent shipper.
