DREER'S SEEDS have been for Sixty=five Years a Standard Among the Best Gardeners of this Country foi Undoubted Purity and Excellence. Cultural directions given are for latitude of Philadelphia. Farther South plantings should be made earlier; in the North, later, ARTICHOKE. Artisclioke, Ger. Artichout, Fr. Alcochofa, Sp. Visitors to the city of Paris cannot help but notice the fine specimens of Artichokes offered for sale by street venders, and are surprised that they are not grown more extensively here Artichokes are not always satisfactory when grown from seed, owing to the numerous and undesirable types thus produced. We have arranged to furnish plants of Dreer's Selected Large Green Artichoke, which is the best kind sold in the Paris market. These plants will be ready for shipment after March 1st. They should be set out early in April when soil is in condition in rows, 36 to 40 inches apart, care being taken to press closely, but not plant too deep. Artichokes do best in a moist soil, and should have a liberal supply of water, besides constant cultivation. In cold weather the plants must be protected from frost, the blooming stems should be cut close to the ground, and remaining leaves cut back, then covered with a bank of soil to a height of 20 inches, and in very cold climates an additional covering of straw or litter is desirable. The plants will continue in bearing three or four years, when new plants should be set out. Plants of Dreer's Selected Large Green Artichoke, Per doz., $ ; per 100, $, by express.
