LEEK 
A Native of Switzerland 
Two Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row Allow Four Pounds to the Acre 
Breaks ground in 9 days. One inch high in 17 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse 
Leek 
Sow when the apple is in bloom and again in midsummer. If 
for permanent position, sow in rows of 2 feet apart; if for transplanting, 
sow in close beds. To secure a full development, thin out the rows or 
plant the seedlings at 4 inches apart in the row. Before the danger 
of hard frost take up the plants and preserve in trenches the same as 
celery. Yield from about 100 to 150 bushels to the acre. 
The Leek in common language may be said to be a cousin of the 
onion—in flavor it is quite similar. While the onion grows best on 
dry lands, the Leek flourishes where there is more moisture. The 
Seed is generally sown in a Seed bed and subsequently transplanted to 
a more permanent location. It is a strong feeder, frequently growing 
to twice the size of the largest onion. The edible portion is not the 
root but an extension upward of the stalk which is bleached like celery, 
some imes growing to a length of twelve inches.
