Leek 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 
Belongs to the onion family and by some preferred to that vegetable. Sow the seeds 
and care for the young plants same as for onions, but they need a little more room in 
order to develop fully. When the young plants are about the size of a goose-quill, trans¬

the roots deep and draw the earth to them when cultivating, so that they may be well 
blanched by the time they are fit for use.
