Abstract
The winter growing of lettuce is not yet practiced in Utah. There is a good demand for lettuce in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and in some of the smaller towns during the winter, but this demand is supplied by the California grown product. It is yet to be determined whether or not lettuce can be grown profitably under glass in this State. The recent high prices of the winter product indicate that the forcing of a moderate amount of lettuce can be done with profit.
In the season of 1899-1900, the Experiment Station began a series of experiments with lettuce in the forcing house. The facilities for this work were very meager, only one bed five feet by fourteen feet -in the center of a small three-quarter span house being available. The work has now been continued two seasons and four crops have been grown.
