LEEK (Allium porrum). 
CULTURE. For an early crop sow in a pot, pan, or box early in February, and place in u 
frame or a slightly-heated place, and when the plants are 3 or 4 inches high, prick out in a sheltered ' 
position or frame in rich soil. Here they are to remain until' good-sized plants are formed, and then 
transplanted to their permanent quarters. Leeks of very fine quality, and good enough for ordinary use, 
may be obtained from seed sown the first week in March, broadcast, on a warm border, and cover 
lightly with mellow soil. Transplant, when large enough, in rows a foot apart, and about 8 inches in 
the row, in the same way as Celery. Well manure.
