GENERAL LIST OF SELECT 
ARTICHOKE 
Culture. — Deep, rich, sandy loam with plenty of well-rotted manure. Sow- 
seed in May, and when large enough transplant into rows, 3 to 4 feet apart 
and 2 feet apart in the rows. When cold weather sets in, bank the earth to 
the top, first cutting off and tying up the leaves so that they will occupy less 
space, and in the spring fork in a dressing of manure. The heads should be 
cut off and used as they get ready. If left to ripen on the plant they will 
exhaust it, and no more will be produced that season.
