Cardoon 



Cardon, Fr. Cardo, Sp. Kardon, Ger. 



Culture — Sow seeds in open ground in early spring, directly 

 where the crop is to mature. Have rows 3 to 4 feet apart, and 

 plants standing 1 to 2 feet apart in the rows. Cardoon is sometimes 

 grown in trenches in same manner as celery. The stalks must be 

 bleached, like celery. The full-grown leaves are tied together while 

 perfectly dry, wrapped in straw, and banked up with earth. The 

 stalks will become fit for use in 3 to 4 weeks. Never allow plants to 

 suffer from lack of water, applied to soil, as stalks will turn hollow 

 and pithy.

 It grows about 4 feet high, and is almost free of spines. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; | oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; \ lb., $1.50.
