ARTICHOKE—Culture. Requires rich, heavily manured soil. In the 
North, plant in a protected position. Sow the seed late in February 
up to the middle of March in a hot bed, transplant into cold frames 
and plant in the open when danger of frost is past. Press the dirt 
FIRMLY to the roots of the seedlings, but never plant them deeper 
than they stood before transplanting. Artichoke must at no time 
be allowed to super from lack of moisture. One can also sow the 
seed in the open late in April. From this sowing you will get a 
crop the following year and then for many years. The plants must 
be protected over winter with a layer of dirt a foot deep with ma- 
nure placed on top of this dirt. The dirt must be removed grad- 
ually with the approaching spring else the plants are liable to rot 
over winter. Before dirt is placed on top of the plants, cut the 
stalks and leaves close to the surface of the ground.
