IMPROVED DWARF—Pkt., 10c: oz., 20c; yA lb., 60c; 1 lb., $ ARTICHOKE The Globe Artichoke bears large round heads with thick fleshy scales, which are cooked and served like Asparagus. Sow the seed early in March and transplant when warm in rows four feet apart and two feet in the rows. Cut the tops off in winter and protect with a heavy cover- ing of straw or leaves. The first season will only yield a partial crop. The second year thin the shoots to three of the best and these will begin to form heads early in summer. Another use is to cut back the stems close to the ground early in summer. The young shoots which start up rapidly may be tied close to- gether, filling in between with soil to exclude the air until they are blanched, and these are used in various forms of cookery or as a salad.
