How to Grow i; Head Lettuce t Head lettuce baffles most amat- j cur gardeners To grow it is a feat to brag about. The usual cause «f lailll ,. P , late start. It shonld he f sown in an indoor box. A Lox for.,. u v!s is called a flat.” be-i t . ain. it L shallow. Four inches of j -oil is all that is required and a box.f five inches high is about right. It ' t m:v be IS by 24 inches or h it’ the smaller size is more easily |f handled. 11 A liu t loim. sifted and contain-,' r, ■ plenty of sand, should be u-ed|l io fill the box. The bottom of the t box must have holes bored in it for Is drai'iago or be made of slat.- Cover's t e boles with pieces of brokt'U pot-|i tery or large pebbles.
