One Ounce to Sow a Drill of 100 Feet 
CULTURE. The Leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best 
in a light soil. Sow early in April in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep. 
When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high transplant in a deep, rich 
soil in rows 12 ins. 
apart and 6 ins. in the 
rows, as deep as pos 
sible, so that the neck 
may be covered and 
blanched ; draw the 
earth to them as they 
grow. The seed may 
also be sown in Au¬ 
gust or September, and 
the young plants trans¬ 
planted in the spring.
