JEESEY THISTLE. Centau'rea isna'rdi. 



JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE (ffelia'nthus 

 tubero'sits), flourishes most in a rich. 



light soil, with an open exposure. Plant 

 middle-sized tubers, or cuttings of the 

 large ones, one or two eyes being pre- 

 served in each. Plant towards the end of 

 March, though it may be performed in. 

 February, or even preferably in October. 



Insert by the dibble in rows three feet 

 apart each way, and four inches deep. 

 The only attention necessary is an occa- 

 sional hoeing to loosen the surface, a 

 little of the earth being drawn up about 

 the stems. Early in August cut the stems 

 off about their middle, to admit more 

 freely the air and light, and in other re- 

 spects to be beneficial to the tubers. 



They may be taken up as wanted dur- 

 ing September, and in October, or as 

 soon as the stems have withered entirely, 

 for preservation in sand for winter's use. 

 They should be raised as completely as 

 possible ; for the smallest piece of tuber 

 will vegetate and appear in spring. It 

 is for this reason that they are often al- 

 lotted some remote corner of the garden ; 

 buttheir culinary merits certainly demand 

 a more favourable treatment.
