 One ounce wUl produce -fCHHf plants. 



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

 plants. Allhough larg-ly grown at the present time, 

 still its proiluction should be proatly increased. It 

 may be grown in any g.irden with very little labor. 

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

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

 rich soil. When sown in the open ground it \ege- 

 tates slowly. When the jilants are four to six inclics 

 high, transplant in rows three feet apart and six 

 inches apart in the rows. Earth up to blanch three 

 or four times during their growth, taking care that 

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

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

 and remove to the cellar and cover with sand or 

 earth, for future vjse.
