This means that these crops must be planted early in order to mature early. Many gardeners complain that they cannot grow good head lettuce because the hot weather damages it before it matures. That is an indica tion that they either did not plant early enough or that they used a poor ly adapted variety. Young lettuce plants will withstand a lot of frosty weather so the frost date is not important. In fact, in the extreme eastern portion of the state it is now getting late for best results, in central and Piedmont areas it is just about the right time to set head fWVW^VNA/WWWVWWWNA/WN/V^WV^ Now ... through this door lies all America -as NORFOLK SOUTHERN BUS ROUTES become part of NATIONAL TRAILWAYS BUS SYSTEM!

Good plants may usually be obtained from seed and plant stores or from commercial grow ; ers. The Great Lakes variety is the most dependable heading pariety for our growing conditions. Lettuce and other salad crops re : quire heavy fertilization to keep them growing rapidly. Stable manure is an excellent fertilizer but should be sup plemented with a good cemmercial : fertilizer to furnish quickly available plant food. Plants should be set about 12 inches apart in the row. Cultiva tion should be shallow and watering is essential in dry periods, especially , when the heads are forming. Lettuce will not thrive on very acid soils. , Some people prefer leaf lettuce to head lettuce because the leaves are 1 green and not so coarse. An excellent NAA/VWWWW*' variety is the new “Salad Bowl” which makes a compact growth and will withstand quite a lot of hot weather. Plants are usually not available so seed of leaf lettuce should be sown I early. I Endive is a salad crop similar to let tuce but is not commonly grown in home gardens. There are two types— the curled endive with frilled leaves and the smooth leaved type. Endive is grown like head lettuce, but makes a loose head and the inner leaves may be blanched by tying the outer leaves over them.
