ARTICHOKE 
The well-known French vegetable. The undeveloped flower- 
heads when properly prepared make a most delicious dish. 
In February or March sow and transplant in hotbed so as to 
give plenty of room until danger of frost is over. Then set in 
very rich, well drained soil in rows four feet apart and two feet 
apart in the row. The plants can be raised in seed beds out of 
doors, but in that case will not be likely to produce heads, the first 
year. Late in the fall cut off the old tops and thoroughly protect 
the crowns with leaves or straw to prevent severe freezing.

ASPARAGUS 
Sow early in Spring in drills one foot apart. To secure strong 
healthy plants thin out the seedlings to three or four inches in 
the rows. The one-year old plants should be set out in the 
spring in a rich, sandy loam, dug eighteen inches deep, into which 
has been worked plenty of well rotted manure. Plant in rows 
fifteen inches apart, and twelve inches apart in the rows. Spread 
out the roots all round and carefully shake the soil in amongst the 
roots and cover to the depth of four inches. On the approach 
of winter cover with manure or compost; fork the beds early in 
spring and apply a dressing of salt or kainit at the rate of OOO'lbs 
an acre. Cut for use the second year after planting.

stumps are very tender and make excellent greens.

BROAD WINDSOR BEANS 
An English variety, used as a Shell Bean. Should be planted 
as soon as possible after the ground is opened ; plant in drills two 
and a half feet apart, and three inches in the drills; when they 
are in full bloom and the lower pods set pinch off the tops; this 
will insure the filling of the pods, and hasten maturity. A strong, 
heavy soil suits them best.

as many as 4 and 5 gigantic beans. A grand selection. Per lib.,
