              QUALITY SEEDS AND BULBS—"THEY COME UP SMILING
CHIVES
An onion-like plant used as a salad and for
flavoring soups. It also makes an excellent ornamental garden bed edging which may frequently
be cut, a new growth of leaves appearing soon
after each cutting. The plants grow about ten
inches high. One sowing will answer for about
three years.

LEEK
This belongs to the onion family and is a good
fall and winter substitute for green onions. The
leaves are flat, and the stems are very large,
cylindrical and bulbous. Sow early in spring in
drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, covering one-
half inch deep. Thin plants to six inches apart
in row and draw the earth about them when cultivating. If one desires very white and tender
leeks transplant when about six inches high,
setting four inches apart in trenches about two
feet apart and gradually earth up like celery.

and table. The stems are remarkably solid, not quite
so long as Carters Selected Musselburgh, of the clearest

Shrewsbury. Since then it has been conspicuous in many

OKRA, OR GUMBO
Sow late in the spring, after the ground has
become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, where the
plants are to remain. Thin out to from 9 to 12
inches. They should be well manured. They
may also be raised in pots or a hotbed, and transplanted. Good for stews, salads and soups. For
keeping, they should be picked while small and
tender. Should be picked usually in less than
two days after the blossoms have fallen. Do not
leave until the pods have become hard and
stringy. »

KOHLRABI
A curious vegetable, in appearance half-way
between a Turnip and a Cabbage with a turniplike swelling of the stems above the ground,
which, while young and tender, has a delicious
Cauliflower flavor very appetizing and pleasant.
Very easily grown, requiring only such care as
will make a Turnip or Cabbage do well. It is
cooked much the same as Cauliflower and served
with pepper, butter and salt. It is certainly most
delicious. Sow at time B and every two weeks
for succession, as they must be eaten while young.
