The Leek is very hardy and easily cultivated ; it succeeds best in a light but 

 well-enriched soil. Sow as early in spring as practicable, in drills one inch 

 deep and one foot apart. When six or eight inches high they may be trans- 

 planted in rows ten inches apart each way, as deep as possible, that the neck, 

 being covered, may be blanched. 



PERPETUAL. A most distinct and valuable variety, which 

 produces continuously a number of stalks from one plant the 

 first season from seed. The stalks are not as heavy as those of the ordinary leek, but for this 

 reason are more desirable for cutting up for use in soups or other ways in which leek is used. 

 The flavor is identical with that of the other varieties of leek, and it is likely to prove entirely 

 hardy. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz.
