Leek. 
Cultivation. — The Leek luxuriates in the richest of soils, 
and the most unctuous of manures only, and such being the case, 
a thorough preparation must be made for them wherever it is hoped 
to grow them moderately well. The finest examples are produced 
in shallow trenches dug out and deeply and thickly manured as for 
Celery. Hero the seedling Leeks are planted either in single, or 
! m double rows, or at right angles with each other. By these 
means the roots are kept cool during the most arid and hot weather, 
whilst water can bo applied more directly. They like the strongest 
of manure waters. Sowings may be made very early in the Spring, 
either in boxes under shelter or on warm borders out of doors* 
commencing in February ; for ordinary main crops sow early in 
March, in a rich soil and on an open sunny site, and proceed to 
transplant them so soon as they become large enough so to do. 
lien the plants in either case have made a good growth, some 
open rich material is often applied to keep additional moisture 
around them, and to blanch their stems somewhat. Where shallow 
trenches can be prepared for them during the Winter, seeds may 
be sown therein early in March, and if the seedlings are subsequently 
thinned out, a strong and uninterrupted growth is the result. 
Our supplies of these being procured from the most noted 
Musselburgh and other growers, the stocks can be guaranteed 
ox the finest possible quality.
