 clean loam, in drills 1 foot apart, and thin or transplant to 10 or 12 inches 

 apart in the rows. May be blanched by covering with leaves or other loose 

 itter, or by placing a large inverted flower pot over each plant. 

 401 Broad-leaved. The Dandelion until recent years had been known 

 only as a troublesome weed, but it has now been so greatly improved 

 that it is now recognized as a most healthful early spring vegetable, 

 eaten either raw as salad, or cooked and served like greens. Our 

 strain of Broad-leaved Dandelion produces large bushy plants, with 

 broad, succulent leaves of a slightly bitter flavor. Quality is con- 

 siderably improved by blanching the plants, which can be done by 

 covering them with leaves or other litter, although boarding up like 

 celery or covering with inverted boxes will give better results. Pkt., 

 15 cts.; \ oz., 50 cts.; oz., 90 cts.; \ lb., $3.00.
