seems to improve the flavor. Remove leaves as needed and allow plant to produce new 
leaves which may again be harvested.

: Leek 
One packet will sow 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 4 pounds per acre. 
Leek is a kind of Onion that does not form any bulb, but grows in a long, thick ste»1, which is 
blanched by drawing earth around it. When blanched it makes an appetizing salad, or can be 
eaten like green Onions. Boiled they are more delicate in flavor than the mildest Onions. The 
seed is sown in the spring and the Leek is ready for use in the fall. If given a little protection 
with dirt, it will last over winter and give a very welcome addition to the early spring menu.
