CuLTOEE.— Sow in spring in drills 18 inches apart, in a rich soil, and keep the flower- 
stems cut off as they appear. It remains in tlie ground year after year, and only needs to 
be taken up and divided once in four or Ave years. To be cut and cooked precisely like 
Spinach; or it is excellent cooked with it, one-third Sorrel to two-thirds Spinach. It is also 
used for soups. Very nice to be eaten after it has become cool. Inasmuch as the hot sun 
tends to increase its acidity, a northern exposure is preferable.
