LEEK. 
German, Lauch.—French, Poireau.—Spanish, Puerro. 
The Leek is very hardy and easily cultivated; it succeeds best in a light 
but well-enriched soil. Sow asearly in spring as practicable, in drills one 
inch deep and one foot apart. When six or eight inches high they may be 
transplanted in rows ten inches apart each way, as deep as possible, that 
the neck, being covered, may be blanched.

added at the rate of 8c. per lb. 
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., 50c. oz. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. 
This is by far the best variety. 
It grows to a good size and is
