May Have Lettuce
for Every Season
Popular Vegetable Should
Be Started Indoors to
Get Good Plants.
Lettuce has come to be a staple veg-
etgble on the table. It appears in
many families almost as often as pota-
toes and fills a dietary need quite as
important. It supplies in cheap and
most palatable form the vitamines A,
B and C, which have been discovered
to play so large a part in health main-
tenance.
Next to Swiss chard, lettuce is the
most profitable vegetable for the home
gardener. It will be found even more
useful than chard, for it will be wel-
cemed on the table every day, which
can hardly be said of chard. Every
well-planned home garden should pro-
vide for a succession of lettuce crops
which will provide the finest quality
for the longest season, and this takes
careful planning.
Lettuce is a cool-season crop. When
hot summer comes it runs to seed so
quickly that from the last of July to
the first of September it Is possible
TYING LETTUCE
TO HEAD IT.
Types of Lettuce.
only in shaded beds, carefully tended,
which comparatively few will bother
with. But during the rest of the gar-
den year some variety of lettuce is
possible.
There are four types of lettuce gen-
erally grown in this country—Ileaf, but-
ter-head, crisp-head and cos. All let-
tuces tend to make heads. In some
sections it takes coaxing to make any
of them head. It requires to be grown
fast, without check, io jaoduce the
tender, sweet leaves that we enjoy.
The soil, then, must be light, quickly
warmed, as rich as possible, especially
in nitrogen, and there should be a
plentiful supply of water. The richest
spot in your garden should be chosen
for lettuce and then it should be ma-
nured, if possible, and additional feed-
ing with nitrate of soda is advisable.
The first variety to sow is head let-
tuce, which should always be started
indoors. The plants may be set out-
doors as soon as the garden soil can
he prepared. Keep a reserve in case
the first planting should be killed by
a hard freeze. In very rich soil, with
such an early start, head lettuce of
these varieties should be ready in 70
days from date of sowing.
When the head lettuce is set out
sow seed of a leaf variety. This may
be sown thickly and thinned out to
one plant every two inches. Alternate
plants may then be harvested halt
grown, until a spacing of six inches
has been reached. All lettuce varie-
ties need at least six inches in the
row to reach full growth, and some
need more.
Seed of a crisp-heading type, such
as New York, the largest of lettuce
varieties, or Mignonette, one of the
smallest and surest to head, may be
sown at the same time as the leaf va-
rieties and the seedlings transplanted
when they make true leaves. New
York must have at least a foot be-
tween plants in the row. It will ma-
ture slowly, stand hot weather well
and furnish the last crop of the first
season.
Clos lettuce, or romaine, which many
esteem as the finest of lettuces, may
be started indoors or outdoors to fit
into the succession where one pleases.
It matures in about 80 deys. For the
fall season omit the crisp-heads and
start the desired varieties in a shaded
seed bed in July to be transplanted
when the cool weather comes in late
August—National Garden Bureau.
Dandelions, Regarded as
Nuisance, Fine Greens
Yellow heads and green leaves of
dandelions are among the first things
to bob up on lawns in spring. They
are so early that they usually come
along in the footsteps of the robin,
spreading over the entire greensward
so rapidly that grass is frequently
crowded out.
“(General nuisance” Is the term dan-
delions go by wherever lawnkeepers
have the experience of trying to kill
them, but in many sections cooks find
they add another variety to the list of
early vegetables—“greens” and salads.
Experts’ tests have verified the opinion
of the practical cook. Tender dande-
Hons can be made use of in various
ways, according to home economic spe-
clalists.
One way to handle dandelions, ac-
cording to Miss Katherine Howells of
the home economics division, Iowa
Stata college, is to cut off the roots,
separate and thoroughly wash the
leaves, dry them in a cloth, and “they
should be marinated a few minutes be-
fore serving in French dressing sea-
soned with a few drops of onion juice.”
The leaves ate also boiled In salted
water until tender and served with
butter and vinegar. They may be
canned by the cold pack method.
SCHEME TO PREVENT
SLIDING EMBANKMENTS.
Harrisburg.—Landslides, such as
caused serious blockades on the high-
ways of the State during the past
winter will be a thing of the past,
when the State Highway Department
completes a plan now being inaugu-
rated. The scheme is to prevent the
sliding of embankments along the
highways, by planting grass, willows
or running vines to hold back the
earth.
This plan will also eliminate huge
yellow scars and cliff-like embank-
ments which will be created by the
program of highway reconstruction
which will be carried out during the
summer. Rain and the natural de-
terioration of the soil will make these
embankments menaces to the roads.
As a consequence, William H. Con-
well, engineering executive of the de-
partment plans to have seeds of both
the quick and slow-growing nature
planted in order that the soil may be
retained this year by the quick grow-
ing plants while the slow-growing
species, which will be permanent, are
maturing.
In planting the seeds, the depart-
ment is followng the advice of Dr.
E. M. Gress, State botanist. Dr.
Gress recommends planting grass in
all cases. On rocky and shaley em-
bankments, Dr. Gress recommends
planting honeysuckle vines while for
steep embankments he suggests run-
ning or trailing myrtle. Moist and

Gress. There are various varieties
of willow growing in Pennsylvania
ranging from low shrubs to high
trees and the size will be chosen ac-
cording to the location.
Mr. Connell has written engineers
instructing them that they must have
information concerning the seeding
program planned in their respective
districts at the earliest possible date.
He has instructed the engineers to
study the situation carefully, how-

Red Oak a Favorite.
The red oak comes nearest of any
to being the best shade tree for the
eastern half of the United States,
says the American Tree Associations,
of Washington, in discussing spring
tree planting plans. The red oak
grows more rapidly than other oaks
and adapts itself to a wide diversity
of soil conditions. Its trunk is
straight and strong, its top symmet-
rically oval or round, and foliage lux-
urious, :
