in the row, being sure not to cover the tips of the cloves.

from August to April, in rows 2% feet apart, and for 
large plants thin from 20 to 40 inches apart in the row.

est weather in any part of Florida. The plants also 
stand heat, and can be grown almost the year around 
in Florida, except in midsummer. 
DWARF BLUE CURLED. (70 days from seed sowing 
to edible stage.) This is the most desirable hardy va- 
riety for Florida and for the markets. It forms a hand- 
some, dwarf, spreading plant with many long, heavy,

Plant 1 packet to 25 feet of row. 
Culture. Grow in row 1/4 to 2 feet apart, thinning from 
6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. Planting every ten days 
will give a succession of tender, fleshy bulbs until hot 
weather. Start fall planting September, and successive 
plantings can be made until early spring. 
WHITE VIENNA. (50 days from seed sowing to edible 
stage.) The fleshy stems, or so-called bulbs, are 
formed above ground and are very light green, tender 
and delicate, and of best quality if used when about 2 
to 3 inches in diameter, before fully grown. Prepare 
by boiling the same as turnips. They make a delicious 
and nutritious dish.

LEEK 
Sow 112 Ibs. in seedbed to plant an acre, or plant 3 Ibs. per 
acre in the field.

50 feet of row, or plant 1 pkt. to 50 feet of row. 
Culture. Leek seed may be planted any time during 
the fall or winter directly in the field, or preferably in 
seedbeds, in good rich soil. When plants in seedbeds 
are six to eight inches high, transplant to rows 18 inches 
apart, and 5 to 6 inches apart in the row, or thin out 
to this spacing in the field. The long, thick stems when 
boiled and served with a butter or cream dressing are 
delicious. They are also used for seasoning and flavor- 
ing soups and stews, and in salads, and may be eaten 
like green onions. The stems are eight to ten inches 
long and 1% inches thick. When marketed they are 
tied in bunches with twelve Leeks to a bunch.
