Early in March sow in prepared beds of rich soil, and thin out when necessary, to keep the plants 
strong. Plant out in June, into trenches previously prepared for Celery, or in rows 15 inches 
apart, on ground deeply trenched and manured ; make boles with a dibber 9 or 10 inches deep, aud 
6 inches apart, into which place the plants, after having carefully trimmed the straggling roots and 
all suckers or oft'sets, and give a good soaking of water. The object is to fix the Leek as in a case, 
to which it can adapt itself, and fully occupy. When the plants have attained a good size, draw 
the soil round them to blanch the stems.
