Timely Hints for the Home Gardener
Hadishes an d Lettuos.

Washington, D. c.. March 22.-Rad-
ishes and lettuce are favorite plants
in small gardens because, while these
are attractive additions to the table,
they are in way luxuries on which
many housewives hesitate to spend
money.
Lettuce does not Withstand heat
well and thrives best, therefore, in the
early spring or late autumn. In order
to have the leaves crisp and tender, 1t
is necessary to force the growth Of
the plant. The usual method of grow
ing the plant for home use Is to sow
the seeds broadcast in the bed and to
remove the leaves as rapidly as they
become large enough for use. 1t is
better, however, to SOW the seeds in
rows IA to 16 inches apart, and when
the plants come I'D to thin them to
the desired distance. With-the head
ing type this should be about IL inches
apart. This will result in the forma-
ton Of rather compact heads and the
entire plant may then be cut for use.
For an early crop in the north, the
plants should 'be started in a hotbed
or cold frame and transplanted as
soon as hard freezes are over. In many
sections of the south, the seeds are
sown during the autumn and the plant
allowed to remain in the ground over
winter. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given the crop and, if crisp
and tender lettuce is desired during
the summer months, some form OF
