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 lour feet apart and two feet in the rows. Cut the tops
off in winter and protect with a heavy covering 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 th? stems close to the ground
early in summer. The young slioots which start up rapidly
may be tied close together, filling in between with soil to
exclude the air until they are blanched and tl.ese are used
in various forms of cookery or as a salad.

boiled makes delicious greens, or the leaves may be boiled and

given a little protection it will survive the winter and make excel-
lent greens early in the spring.
