Sow the seed in a well prepared soil as 
soon as the ground is in a proper condition 
to work. Sow in drills and tread the seed 
firmly in; thin out to an inch apart, and 
keep the ground well worked and free 
from weeds. In order to secure stock g 
plants, cut off the tops once or twice be-¥ 
fore transplanting, which should be about 
in July. Make the soil very rich with well- 
rotted manure. which should be dug in 
deep; a moist, low, rich bottom land or 
well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set 
the plants eight or twelve inches apart. 
To blanch, draw earth around the plants 
from time to time, taking care not to cover 
thetops of the centre shoots.

his variety, first introduced in America, 1884, is now the leading variety in all markets

dwarfer and much larger bunches of broad, heavy stalk, blanching to a deep golden yellow. 
Plants are of dwarf, compact habit, with very thick, solid, heavily ribbed stalks. When 
grown in rich, moist soil the large stalks are very numerous, each plant being fully as thick 
through as the largest of the tall late sorts, with a very large, solid heart, and beautiful 
golden-yellow stalks and leaves, When quickly grown the stalks are crisp and solid brittle, 
and free from any stringiness, of most delicious flavor. Our seed is of the original strain
