 and productive qualities. The edible part is the bulb, which is dressed and served like turnips, 

 and is very delicate and tender. The seeds may be sown at the same period as the Swedish or 

 Ruta-baga Turnip, and may be cultivated in the same way. In hoeing, be careful not to throw 

 earth into the heart of the plant, or the bulb cannot form. The bulbs may be kept sound and 

 nutritious until late in the spring, even later than those of the Swedes.

LEEK. 



German, Laitch. — French, Poireau. — Spanish, Puerro. 

 One ounce will sow a drill of about one hundred feet. 



The leek is very hardy, and easily cultivated ; it succeeds best in a light but well-enriched 

 soil. Sow as early in spring as practicable, in drills one inch deep and one foot apart. When 

 six or eight inches high, transplant in rows ten inches apart each way, as deep as possible, that 

 the neck, being covered, may be blanched. If fine leeks are desired, the ground can hardly be 

 made too rich.

Lettuce is easy of cultivation, but likes a good, rich s©il. For early use, sow under glass in 

 February and March, and transplant as soon as the ground can be worked. Later sowings may 

 be made in the open ground, at intervals of two weeks, for succession, as long as the weather 

 permits ; thin out well, and set in rows one foot apart, and a foot between the plants. Lettuce 

 requires good ground and abundant moisture.
