Culture of I.,eek. The leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and suc- 

 ceeds 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 inches apart, and 6 inches in the rows, as deep as possible, so that 

 the neck may be covered and blanched ; draw the earth to them as they 

 grow. The seed may also be sown in August or September, and the young 

 plants transplanted in the spring.

 leek is not to be compared with the old kinds. It grows 

 much larger and is very handsome. Take the extra large, as 

 the old sorts are not worth garden room. Packets, 5 and 10 

 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents.
