ARTICHOKE 
Sow any time the weather is favorable, preferably in 
March or April. Soil should be a light, moist loam and 
seed should be sown thinly in drills 1 inch deep. Trans- 
plant when 6 inches high in rows 5 feet apart, and 4 feet 
between the plants. Save offsets from best plants for new 
supply as artichokes never come true from seed, some

those with spiniest leaves.

in rows 4 feet apart, and 1 foot apart in the row. Care 
should be taken that roots are well spread, and set at a 
depth of 6 inches below the level of the bed. Cover only 
2 or 3 inches, and fill in gradually as the plants grow. 
Very little, if any, should be cut the first year after 
transplanting, but a fair crop can be cut the second year.

dressing of coarse manure, and in the spring fork it in.
