Vegetable Seeds 
ARTICHOKE 
Seed may be planted during March or April in a bed arranged 
so that the young plants can be given protection until danger of 
frost is past When large enough to transplant, they should be 
set in rows about 4 feet apart and about 2 feet apart in the row. 
In localities where Winter temperatures are not severe, such plants 
will produce a crop of buds the second year. Where Winters are 
severe, plants must be mulched with a heavy dressing of leaves or 
straw to protect the crowns.

allowing 16 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover 2 inches deep. When plants 
are well established, thin to about an inch apart. Hoe frequently 
diiring the Summer. The plants will be ready to set in a permanent 
bed the following Spring.
