LARGE AMERICAN FLAG LEEK. 
I.EEK. 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill. 
Culture.— Sow the seed very early, in a seed bed in 
a sheltered place, if possible. When plants are about 
SIX inches long, transplant them to trenches six inches 
deep, with very rich soil at the bottom. Fill up the 
trenches as tlie plants grow, and later draw soil up to 
them. As a result you will have fine, large leeks, 
blanched, half afoot long, which may be kept all winter 
if dug up with the roots on, and stored in moist sand in 
the cellar.
