 spreading, and will rarely exceed 18 inches in height.

EXTRA LARGE LEEK— Lauch 



1 ounce to sow a drill of 100 feet. 



CULTURE OF LEEK.— The leek is very hardy, of easy cul- 

 ture, and succeeds best in a light soil. Sow early in April, in 

 drills i foot apart aud i inch deep. When the plants are 6 to 8 

 inches high, transplant in a deep, rich soil, in rows 12 inches 

 apart, and 6 inches in the rows, as deep as possible, so that the 

 neck may be covered and blanched; draw the earth to them as 

 they grow. The seed may also be sown in August or Septem- 

 ber, and the young plants transplanted in the spring. 



Extra Large Leek. — It is the best. This mam- 

 moth leek is not to be compared with the old kinds; 

 it grows much larger and is very handsome. Take the 

 extra large, as the old sorts are not worth garden room.

 25 cents; pound, 75 cents.
