Ferry-Morse 1304 Lettuce Seeds, Grand Rapids (1.8 Gram Packet)
Large, frilly, bright green leaves are tender and sweet. Upright plants grow quickly. Slower to bolt than other loose-leaf varieties. High in vitamins A and B. This packet will plant approximately a 60 foot row. Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. Also, fall crops may have to be started indoors since lettuce has a difficult time even germinating in hot weather. Transplant with care. Sow directly in garden as early as soil can be made fine and loose. Cool weather vegetable. Plant seeds every 2 inches, covering firmly with soil. Thin plants to 6 inches apart when they display 2 or 3 leaves. As plants begin to crowd, pick individual leaves regularly for use.
