LEEK. 
The Cultiuation of Leek. — Sow in February to April, and transplant into trenches of well- 
manured soil, say I foot in depth, and 20 inches between the plants. In warm weather 
liberal dressings of liquid manure will be of service, and the plants should be afterwards carefully 
earthed up to blanch the stems. For Exhibition, sow in January in boxes under glass, and 
transplant early into rich soil. 
Carters’ Holborn Model 
• — The best both for exhibition and table. It is 
the largest variety we know of, the stems, as shown in the Illustration, are remarkably thick, of the 
clearest white colour, whilst the flavour is exceedingly delicate. Unquestionably the finest Leek 
in cultivation. 
“ Carters’ Holborn Model Leek is the finest grown about here. It quite took the Stafford- 
shire Leek growers down. I obtained 1 st and 2 nd prizes with it.” 
Mr. A. R. Powell, The Gardens, Monckton Grange. 
“I 
took the First Prize with Carters’ Leeks at the Whissendine Show, and they were 
considered the best in the Show.” 
Mr. G. Dawson, Whissendine. 
“ Carters’ Holborn Model Leeks are the best we have ever had. They have stood the hard 
weather well — in fact, they are the only Leeks to be seen about.” 
Mr. J. Picton, Port Talbot.
