in and employee.
Lee was farmer in China and again
in California, and on removing to New
York concluded that the city lines for
Cinnamon were overdone. So early last
May he rented of Farmer Gordon, of
Flatbush, two little patches on different
sides of the main road, not quite two
acres in extent, and went to work in q
way entirely novel to the old settlers.
His land is trenched both ways to divide
it into little Plots, and in these are grown
all the vegetables raised by neighboring
gardeners and many they never heard of
before.
OF these the most noted is called sea

it is The leaves resemble those of the
white turnip, and the stem is something
like slender radish, but leaves, stem
and all are delicious when served with
the usual seasonings. One man says it
tastes like spinach. another declares it is
a very fine celery, while third thinks it
tastes "hke crisp green lettuce did when
l was a boy" Anyhow, it sells readily
at ten cents a pound, and Lee thinks he
can raise six crops year on Flatbush
soil.
Lee has, however, made few serious
mistakes. He did not understand the
ways of Long Island weeds, and when
he fertilized his field with half rotted
stable manure and wet it down every
morning it brought great plague of
flies, so he had to use wood ashes and
bone fertilizer. He and his assistant
