Extra Large Leek 
CULTURE OF LEEK.—The leek is very 
hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds 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. 
EXTRA LARGE LEEK. It is the best. This mammoth leek is not to be com- 
pared 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; %4 pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents.

Gentlemen: Last spring you sold Shuman Bros. of this place some cucumber (Arlington White Spine) seed, that made 
the finest crop of cucumbers I have ever seen grown in this vicinity. They were large, and the greenest cucumber I ever 
saw. Can you supply me with one to two pounds of the same seed. Quote me your price. 
Respectfully yours, WM. C. GERATY.
