It is a very coarse-growing plant, occupying much space, while only a small portion is available for food, which is the recep- tacle of the flower. Plant the seed early in Spring, in rows three inches apart, and one foot from row to row ; cover with fine earth one-quarter of an inch ; when one year old, trans- plant them two feet apart each way, in deep, rich soil. Where the winters are severe, they must be protected with dry litter, or a bed of leaves, or by raising around them about eight inches of earth ; manure and dig annually between the rows. The heads are boiled, and eaten with butter and salt; the bottom of these heads are very fleshy, and are cooked in various ways, sometimes being dried for winter use. The French are very partial to this vegetable.
