A salad plant which is very popular antf 

 much cultivated for the market, principally 

 for summer use It can be sown in drills 

 foot apart, and when the plants are well up, 

 thinned out till about eight inches apart. 

 Or it can be sown broad-cast thinlv and 

 transplanted the same as Lettuce. When 

 the leaves are large enough, say about eight 

 inches long, tie them up for blanching, to 

 make them fit for table. This can only be 

 done in dry weather, otherwise the leaves 

 are apt to rot. For summer use do not sow 

 before the end of March, as if sown sooner, 

 the plants wiil run into seed very early.
