ly cultivated for the New 
Orleans Market. Itisthe best propagated from. _ 
suckers, which come up around the large plants. 
Take them off during the falland early winter 
months, plant them four feet apart each way. 
Every fall the ground should be manured and. 
spaded or plowed between them; at the same- 
time the suckers should be taken off. If planted 
by seed, sow in drills during winter or early 
spring, three inches apart and one foot from row 
to row, cover with about one-half inch of earth, 
The following fall the plants can be transplanted 
and cultivated as recommended above. The-

CULTURE The ground should be well manured | 
and prepared before either the roots 
or seeds are planted. For this climate the sowing of seed 
is preferable. Plant the seed in early spring. Soak over 
night in water: plant in rows, or rather hills, one foot apart 
and two feet between, or three if to be cultivated witha 
plow; put from four to five seeds in each hill; when well up 
thin out to two plants. The following winter whenthe & 
talks are cut off cover with a heavy coat of well rotted : 
manure and a sprinkling of salt; fish-brine will answer the 
same purpose. Inthe spring fork in manure between the 
rows and keep clean of weeds. The same treatment should 
be repeated every year. The bed should not be cut before 
being three years established. Care must be taken not to 
cut the stalks too soon in the fall of the year—not until we 
have had a frost. If cut before, it will cause the roots to 
throw up young shoots, which will weaken them. Columbia White Mammoth.
