W Varieties marked (*) are specially recommended lor Exhibition. 
For Exhibition purposes sow middle of January, for general use early in 
March. As soon as the plants are large enough, transplant into rich ground in 
rows 18 inches apart, and 6 inches between the plants. Leeks are extremely 
partial to nitrogen food, and would be greatly benefited by a dressing at the 
rate of 2 ozs. to the running yard. If the ground be prepared for them the same 
way as for celery, they will make splendid exhibition plants.
