Italian Mammoth. A much used variety of leek, 
which grows unusually large. It has a stalk 
that is both thick and tall, bleaching as much as 
twelve inches. It has the good quality of 
standing a long time in good condition, and is 
one of the most attractive in appearance. The 
leaves are large and broad. A great majority 
of the Italian market gardeners on our books 
prefer this variety to all others they have tried.
