EGG 
A tender plant, requiring starting m the hot-bed pretty 
early to mature its fruit in the Northern States. The 
seed may be sown with Tomato seed ; but more care is 
necessary at transplanting, to prevent the plants being 
chilled by the change. Those who have no hot-beds 
can sow a few seeds in boxes in the house. Hand-glasses 
are useful for covering at time of transplanting.

KOHL RABI. 
Kohl Rabi is sown for 
a general crop, in the 
spring, like the Turnip, 
in drills; or may be 
transplanted like Cab¬ 
bage. For winter table 
use, sow middle of June. 
The stem, just above 
surface of the ground, 
swells into a bulb some¬ 
thing like a Turnip, as 
seen in the engraving. 
It is cooked like the Turnip, and is highly prized for 
stock, in Europe, as a substitute for Turnips. It will 
bear drouth better, and therefore a crop is more certain.

GARLIC. 
Garlic, per lb., 
The Garlic is the most pungent 
of all the Onion family. it 
is much used in the south of 
Europe. The root or bulb is 
composed of many small bulbs 
called “cloves,” which are 
planted in the spring six or eight 
inches apart, and in August the 
tops will die, when the bulbs are 
ready to gather. They do best 
in a light, rich soil.

HORSE RADISH. 
The best way to grow Horse Radish 
is from the little roots four or five 
inches in length, and not from the 
crowns. These small roots will pro¬ 
duce good Radish fit for use in one 
season’s growth. Plant the set small 
end down, where the slanting cut is, 
and so that the top will be two inches 
under the soil. It can remain in the 
ground till very late in the autumn, 
and be pitted, or a portion can remain 
in the ground until spring. A dozen 
roots will give all that will be needed 
for family uses for a life time, for it 
constantly increases and the danger is 
that it will spread too fast and become 
troublesome. It is best, therefore, to 
plant it in some corner of the garden, where it can grow 
without injuring anything. 
Roots, per 100, 51-25 ; perdoz., 30 
LEEK. 
Seed is generally sown in the spring in a seed-bed, 
and young plants transplanted July 1st. The Leek is

superior to the Onion.
