Certainly You Can Grow Your Own Mushrooms 


LEEK 
Sow 1 ounce to 150 feet of row 
Cutture. Sow seed and care for the young 
plants same as for onions, but they need a 
little more room to develop fully. When the 
young plants are about the size of a goose- 
quill, transplant into a prepared bed, 4 to 5 
Inches apart in the rows. Set the roots deep 
and draw the earth to them when cultivating, 
so that they may be well blanched by the 
time they are fit for use. 85 days. Soil B. 
Elephant. One of the hardiest, largest and

should be planted just as soon as the ground 
can be worked. Press the bulb lightly in the 
ground (do not cover) in rows 1 foot apart, 
2 inches apart in the row, so that all the 
development goes in the Onion. On signs of 
their going to seed, bend the top over but 
do not break it off. Shipped on local orders 
about March 1, unless otherwise requested.

American-grown Seeds 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 
6 pounds to an acre 
Cutture. For sets, sow the seed as early 
as possible in the spring, very thickly in drills. 
As soon as the tops dry off in the summer, 
remove them to a dry, airy place, and early 
in the following spring replant by placing 
the sets tn shallow drills 1 foot apart and 
about 4 inches apart in the drills. The Onions 
obtained by this process are of large size 
early in the season; also can be grown to full 
size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 14 inch deep 
in March or in early April, in strong land, 
well manured, and thinning them out to 
stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the drills. About 
100 days. Soil A.
