(One ounce will produce 7,000 plants. -ounce to the 100 feet of row; 2 ounces to acre) 
Sow seeds in a hot bed or cold frame. As soon as the plants are about 3 inches high, transplant to 
a well prepared bed, setting them 4 to 5 inches apart. When some eight inches high, and the plants 
stocky, set them in trenches. Earth up a little during the Summer, keeping the leaf stocks close to¬ 
gether so that the soil cannot get between them. Finish earthing up in Autumn. Never hoe or earth up 
in moist weather. Keep the seed bed moist to insure quick germination and vigorous growth. 
White Plume —Is a 
truly beautiful 
type. Not only does

of the most showy 
that can be put 
upon the Thanks¬ 
giving or Christmas 
dinner table. As to 
succulence, crisp- 
ness and quality, 
the White Plume is 
all that can be de¬ 
sired. Fit to eat in
