LEEK 



One Ounce to Sow a Drill of 100 Feet 



CULTURE. The Leek ia very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best 

 in a light soil. Sow early in April in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep. 

 When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high transplant in a deep, rich 



soil in rows 12 ins. 

 apart and 6 ins. in the 

 rows, as deep as pos- 

 sible, so that the neck 

 may be covered and 

 blanched ; draw the 

 earth to them as they 

 grow. The seed may 

 also be sown in Au- 

 gust or September, and 

 the young plants trans- 

 planted in the spring.

Extra Large Leek 



KOHL-RABI 



One Ounce Sows 



300 Feet of Drill 



CULTURE. Sow in spring, in rows 18 inches apart, afterward thinning 

 the plants to 8 or 10 inches. If the weather is suitable, the thinning 

 may be planted, but it is considered difficult to transplant. Keep the 

 weeds down, and when the thickened stems above ground are 2 to 3 

 inches through they are fit to eat, and should be used at once, being 

 tough when old. Cook like turnips. 



310. Early White Vienna. (55 days.) When young 

 and tender, and properly prepared for the table, it is almost 

 equal to the cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, requir- 

 ing no more care or cultivation than a crop of cabbage. For 

 fall crop sow in June. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 

 lb. $1.25, postpaid.
