FRENCH GLOBE.—A delicious vegetable almost unknown in Southern gardens, but destined to some day gain the estimation it deserves and which it has long enjoyed in other countries. It produces globular-shaped heads which, as long as immature, are very tender and succulent. The usual method of cooking is to boil and serve with butter as dressing. The French Green Globe is the very best variety for general culture. Attention is called to the mistake many of our readers make in confounding this with the common Jerusalem Artichoke, the roots of which are used. Per 5 and 10 cts.; per oz., 30 cts.; per 14 lb., 75 cts. CrxrcEE.—An ounce should produce 500 plants. Sow the seeds the last of March in light, rich soil, and transplant into rows three feet apart, leaving two feet between the plants in the row. It is a perennial which does not come into bearing until the second season, but if properly cultivated will continue to yield for many years. The plant will become exhausted if the heads are allowed to ripen, so that these must be cut off as they appear, even if not wanted for use. Should the plants show signs of deterioration by an unsatisfactory yield, it is advisable to make a fresh start with seed, or offshoots may be used to make a new bed. ARTICHOKE ROOTS.
