A salad plant which is very popular and much cultivated for the market, principally for 
summer use. It can be sown in drills a foot apart, and when the plants are well up, thinned 
out till about eight inches apart. Orit can be sown broad-cast thinly and transplanted the 
same as Lettuce. When the leaves are large 
enough, say about eight inches long, tie 
them up for blanching, to make them fit 
for the table. This can only be done in dry 
weather, otherwise the leaves are apt to rot. 
For summer use do not sow before the end 
of March, as if sown sooner, the plants will 
run into seed very early. Sow for a succes- 
sion during the spring and summer months. 
For winter use sow in September and 
October. 
Greem Curled. Is the most desir- 
able kind, as it stands more heat than the 
following sort, and is the favorite market 
variety. 
Extra Fine Curled. Does not grow 
quite so large as the foregoing, and is more 
apt to decay when there isa wet summer. 
Better adapted for winter. 
Broad-Leaved, or Escarolle. 
Makes a fine salad when well grown and. 
blanched, especially for summer.

Garlic, There is more Garlic grown in 
Louisiana than in any other State, or all 
States together. Itis a staple product of 
the lower Parishes. It is raised for home 
consumption and shipping. It is used for 
flavoring stews, roasts and various other 
dishes. People from the South of Europe 
use much more than the inhabitants of the 
United States. It should be planted in Oc- 
tober and November, in drills two to three 
feet apart, about six inches in the drills and 
one inch deep. The distance between the 
rows depends upon the mode of cultivation; 
if planted in the garden, a foot between the 
rows is sufficient. It is cultivated like Oni- 
ons; in the spring they are taken up and 
plaided together in a string by the tops. 
One of these strings contains about from 50 
to 70 heads in double rows; they are then 
stored or rather hung up in a dry, airy 
place. They keep from 6 to 8 months.
