CHICORY OR SUCCORY. 
CULTURE . — Sow in April in rows a foot apart, thin out to 6 inches 
in the row. In autumn 6tore the roots in dry sand, and when required at 
intervals should be placed in soil in a dark place and kept moist. It will 
give leaves in a few days equal to Endive, and cook the same as Sea Kale.

CORN SALAD or LAMB’S 
LETTUCE. 
Very useful during Winter and Spring for Salads, and especially when 
outdoor Lettuces are about finished, for which it is an agreeable substitute 
and change. Sowings can he made in February, April, August, and 
September, in shallow drills, 9 inches apart, and thin out to 6 inches apart 
in the rows. The soil should have been well tilled. It rather enjoys an 
open position.

CRESS. 
PEPPER GRASS. 
CULTURE . — Plain and Curled Cress should be sown weekly durra 
the whole year, if a regular supply is required, the state of the weathei 
regulating the method of sowing. As a rule, from November to March, i 
gentle hot-bed is the best. Australian Cress sown in the open border during 
March and April, and in a cool and shady place in May, will produce crop! 
in succession ; and if sown under a north wall in September and October, 
with a little protection, will afford a supply during Winter and Sprit?. 
Water-cress may be easily grown in a damp and shady place, and on nt 
account must suffer from drought. Sow in March and April.

Mr. W. M. , Boscastle, Cornwall. 
I have exhibited flowers and vegetables from vour seeds at three local shows. From 23 entries I have won 22 prizes (13 firsts). Lots ask 
whose seeds I have to thank for all these successes. 
J. F. B. 
I am glad to say that since I have been getting seeds from you we have had abundant supplies of all sorts of vegetables, and our 
consumption here is no small matter. 
Mr. R. B. , Leigh. 
I have always been well served with seed by you for over 30 years.
