This is one of the best, if not the finest, of salad 

 plants. Althouf?h laig;'ly grown at the present time, 

 still its proiiuction should be greatly increased. It 

 may be grown in any garden witli very little la1)or. 

 Sow seed during March or April in liot-bed, or in 

 a box in the house, or in the open ground in moist, 

 rich soil. When sown in the open ground it 

 tates slowly. Wlien the plants are four to cix inches 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and six 

 inciies apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch three 

 or four times during their growtli, taking care that 

 no earth falls in the center of the plant. Take up 

 ilie plants late in the fall, just before winter sets in, 

 and remove to the cellar and cover with sand or 

 earth, for future u(se.
