"When from four to six inches high, transplant into broad shallow trenches, or on the level ground, setting the dwarf sorts into rows three feet apart, and the tall varieties four feet apart, and six inches apart in the rows. The soil should be light, high- ly manured, partially shaded and moist, or near water, as the plants must be freely watered in dry weather, but it should not be put directly on them. Earthing up checks growth, and should not begin until quite well grown, then earth up graduallv, keeping- the leaf stocks close together, so that the soil may not fall into the center of the plant, but never earth up in wet weather, nor when dew is on them. That intended for winter and spring use needs little banking ; when stored for winter it will naturally bleach beautifully white. One ounce to three thou- sand plants.

The stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, and entirely stringless; the width and thickness of the stalks are distinctive features of this variety. It bleaches with but slight "earthing up," and very quickly, usually in five or six days. Likely to prove a most valuable variety for second early, and mid-winter use 5c pkt.,2oc oz., Q*.00 >j-lb.
