Lettuce Crop
CTRONG lettuce seedlings may bo planted between the rows of peas and other kinds of plants, on celery ridges and between rows of leeks. But generally, growers should make special efforts and grow these plants, also radishes and other saladings, on specially prepared ground. Both lettuces and radishes must be grown rapidly to be satisfactory. They should not be unduly forced by means of artificials, but induced to grow well, because the soil is sufficiently charged with humus, is deep, friable and rendered moderately firm when in a proper state of dryness to allow of firming to advantage.
