Leefe 
A Species of Onion 
Though belonging to the onion family, the 
flavor is milder and subtly different when 
used in soups and stews. 
For white tender Leeks, transplant when 
six inches tall to shallow trenches setting 
plants 3 inches deep and gradually let the 
soil fill in. In fall, ridge the soil about the 
plants so as to blanch the stems.

Okra pods are used in soups, stews, salads, 
catsup and relishes, and are very popular in 
the South. The pods should be gathered each 
day, while they are tender and pulpy. They 
are at their best when from one to three 
inches long. Okra is a hot weather plant 
and the seed should not be sown until late 
May when the ground is thoroughly warm.

[ am sending a picture of the seed corn grown 
from seed I bought of you last spring. In one bas- 
ket is Wisconsin No. 110 Day and in the other is 
Minhybrid. Both varieties yielded well in spite of 
the fact that we had very little rain after the corn 
started to set ears. I am a booster for your seed 
corn.

A year ago this spring I ordered five hundred 
Wayzata strawberry plants from you and to show 
you what wonderful success I had with them I 
inclose pictures taken this spring when I harvested 
my first crop. The plants were just loaded with 
berries, and now in September I am out picking 
berries every day. I get a lot of enjoyment out of 
caring for the plants and picking the nice berries,

Used for flavoring stews, 
soups, meats, dressings 
and sauces. Garlic is a 
perennial, a member of 
the onion family, but of 
much stronger flavor. The | _» = 
bulb separates beneath a LP 
thin, papery skin into di- <a 
visions or ‘‘cloves.’’ These cloves are planted 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row and covered with an 
inch or two of soil. When the tops have died, 
the bulbs are pulled, braided together by their 
tops and hung in a dry, airy place to cure. yy,

_ Our Blaze-o-Mums have attracted so much atten- 
tion from passing motorists that I decided to take a 
picture of them and enter it in your contest. They 
are red, pink and yellow and make a fine showing.

edging grown from your seed and still in full bloom 
in October. -
