LEEK 
The Cultivation of Leek. —Sow in February to April, and transplant into 
trenches of well-manured soil, say i foot in depth, and 20 inches 
between the plants. In warm weather liberal dressings of liquid 
manure will be of service, and the plants should be afterwards carefully 
earthed up to blanch the stems. For Exhibition, sow in January in 
boxes under glass, and transplant early into rich soil. 
CartGFs Holboi n Model .—the best both for 
EXHIBITION AND TABLE. It is the largest variety we 
know of, the stems, as shown in the Illustration, are 
remarkably thick, of the clearest white colour, whilst the 
flavour is exceedingly delicate. Unquestionably the finest 
Leek in cultivation. 
“Callers’ Ilolborn Model Leek is the finest grown about here. 
It quite took the Staffordshire Leek growers down. I obtained 1st and 
2nd prizes with it.” — A. R. P. 
I took the hirst Prize with Carters’ Leeks at the Whisseudine Show, 
and they were considered the best in the Show.”—G. D. 
“ Carters’ Ilolborn Model Leeks are the best we have ever had. They 
have stood the hard weather well — in tact, they are the only 
Leeks to be seen about.”— J. p.
