Lettuce
(Lactuca sativa)
Approx. 25,000 seeds/oz. Pkt plants 30' of row; 1/4 oz sows 100'; 1 oz. produces approx. 10,000 plants. Direct-sow 1-3 lbs/acre; sow seeds thinly 1/4" deep. Seeds germ in about 7 days. Set head types 10-15" apart in rows 16-24" apart (leaf types 8-12" apart in rows 12-24" apart). Days to maturity are from sowing.
Some lettuce varieties listed are Mosaic Indexed Seed (M.I.). A sample of 30,000 seeds or seedlings was tested and found free of lettuce mosaic virus infection. However, no seed lots are guaranteed disease-free.
