30 Chives 



roots should be taken up and packed in boxes and 

 blanched in a dark room. 



CHIVES 



No garden should be without its bunches of chives. 

 As a flavoring for soups there is no superior, and 

 when it is once started it is very easy to grow. 

 As an edging for the flower bed it is most attrac- 

 tive, not only the leaves being a pretty addition 

 but the flowers which come in the late spring are 

 also very pretty. 



Chives are best propagated by dividing the small 

 bulbs. The plant rarely goes to seed, and saving 

 seed is quite a difficult task. Almost any soil will 

 grow chives, but a fairly rich soil containing plenty 

 of nitrogen will produce wonderful results in leaves. 

 If the bulbs are left in the ground over winter, they 

 will sprout in the spring, but they had better be 

 taken up in the fall and stored in a dry place in 

 the cellar. 



CITRON 



Citron is cultivated much the same as watermelon, 

 and a few of the fruit will go a long way, hence 

 only one or two vines will be all that is needed 

 by the average family.
