‘‘I am pleased to tell you, last year I took eleven 
firsts, nine seconds, and two third prizes from your 
seeds, with numerous congratulations.” — Mr. G. 
Allaway. 
The Cultivation of Leek. — Sow early in April, and 
transplant early in July into trenches of well- 
manured soil, say 1 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 
as early as the ground can be worked into rich soil. 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill.
