LABGB AMEBICAN FLAG LEEK. 



LEEK. 



German, Lauch. French, Poireau. 



In our opinion the Leek does not receive 

 the attention it deserves. It is easily cul- 

 tivated, and is a valuable addition to the 

 vegetables generally used in soups, etc. 

 Sow early in spring and when about six 

 inches high transplant into rows about 

 ten inches apart each way and as deep as 

 possible, to perfect the blanching process. 

 The richer the soil the finer the Leek will 

 grow. One ox. to 100 feet of drill.

 ket variety. Oz. 10c; Yi lb. 30c; 1

A pungent salad. Sow thickly in rows and
