used in Italy as a salad, but is particularly 
palatable when served boiled, with a cream 
dressing. When the enlargement of leaf- 
stalk, at base of stem, is about the size of a 
hen’s egg it should be earthed up so as to 
cover half of it, and in about 10 days cutting 
for use may be commenced and continued 
as the plants increase in growth. The flavor 
is somewhat like celery, but it has a sweeter 
taste and delicate odor. 60 days. Soil A.
