CULTURE . — Sow end of January or early in February in a frame on a slight heat, or in a house, so that the plants ni«y be forwarded and hardened 
off by April, when a sowing may bo made outdoors. From this sowing heads will bo produced in Jniy and August. To stand the Winter, seeds should be 
sown about the third week in August. The Earlii Lnnilon and Kurly Umirf Erfurt are both reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well-drained spot for the seed 
bed, well work, and if at all heavy add a good dressing of fine sandy soil or old potting compost, after which the seed may he sown thinly and liroadcast. 
and covered with fine soil. When the seedlings appear, apply an occasional dusting of soot and lime as a preventive against slugs. The strongest plants, 
when ready, should be dibbled out rather thickly in hand-lights and cold frames, and the remainder left in the seed bed where they will frequently 
.survive an ordinary Winter. Finally, plant out iu Spring.
