FLORENCE FENNEL or FINOC- 

 CHIO— This is a delicious Italian 

 salad vegetable worthy of much 

 more extensive use in this country. 

 The thickened bases of the leaf- 

 stalks overlap each other so as to 

 form a "head," and this is usually 

 eaten raw like celery or head-let- 

 tuce, although it makes a delight- 

 fully palatable dish when boiled. 

 The flavor is somewhat like celery 

 but with an aromatic sweetness pe- 

 culiarly its own. Seed may be sown 

 from early spring until mid-summer. 

 Thin out to 5 or 6 inches apart in 

 the row (rows about 15 inches 

 apart), and when the "heads" are 

 about hen's egg size draw the soil 

 half way up over them. Cutting may 

 begin in about 10 days. 1 oz., 25c; 



1/4 lb., 75c Pkt. 10c
