Text Appearing After Image:
Cutting and bunching watercress ously, allowed to dry, and sown, the seed being lightly cov- ered with leaf mold applied with a sieve. The bed must be kept moist and a little leaf mold should be applied after each cutting. In this, as in all methods of culture, all weeds should be removed with the rake or by hand, and the plants should occasionally be entirely submerged for a few days, or sprinkled very copiously, in order to destroy insect enemies. Watercress culture, in fact, save on a large scale, offers little difficulty and affords a crop readily grown and always available for table use. Its extensive cultivation calls for a somewhat considerable outlay, and some care must be taken to obtain the best results; but even in its most developed form it has few complications, and the crop yields are always ample. In the towns mentioned it forms, as I have stated, a dis- tinctive industry, a circumstance often observable in France, where the localization of industries, especially of farm or outdoor industries, are often highly developed and special- ized in certain localities. The average visitor to Provins may well have an enjoyable time at this ancient town without so much as gaining any notion of the existence of the watercress industry or even so much as seeing it. Provins is, in truth, a place of the deepest interest. It is but ninety-five kilometers from Paris, and hence is within easy reach of the French- capital. It consists of an old and new town, the former of which still retains the physiognomy of the Middle Ages, with most of its ancient walls and many old buildings of great historic importance.
