One ounce will sow 75 feet of drill 
Florence. This variety produces numer¬ 
ous leaf-stalks crowded at the base, 
thereby forming a bulb-like vegetable 
above the ground-level. These are cut 
before the plant comes into flower and 
served as a salad or boiled before eat¬ 
ing. Sow early in spring, later for 
succession.
