Finocchio, or Florence Fennel. A delicious vege- 

 table which should be largely grown. It is ex- 

 tensively used in Italy as a salad, and also may 



be served boiled. When the leaf stalk, at base of 



stem, is about the size of a hen's egg it should be 



earthed up so as to cover half of it, and in about 



ten days cutting may be commenced and con- 

 tinued as the plants increase in growth. The 



flavor is somewhat like celery, with a sweet 



taste and delicate odor. (See engraving) 5

Largely grown for supplying "greens" during 



the fall, winter and spring; used small, like
