ioaneplantine Root Selected Stock 
Scarlet Globe Radish 
Just another instance of extra care, extra labor and extra expense in order to produce 
seeds which will measure up to the high standard of Manns’ Superior Quality 
SPINACH 
We offer improved strains, grown in Holland by the orig- 
inators of these strains; extensively imitated by other Hol- 
land growers, but universally recognized as the most supe- 
rior types ever produced. 
RADISH 
SCARLET GLOBE FORCING—Manns’ transplanted root 
selected stock. Ordinary commercial stocks of Radish are 
produced from seed without digging the roots for inspection.

from hand-picked roots, assuring perfection which cannot 
“e surpassed. %4 Ib,, 20c; lb., 60c; 10 Ibs., $5.50; 100 lbs., 
50.00. 
GLOWING BALL—see page 28 
SPINACH 
OLD DOMINION—A later seeding type of Virginia Yellows 
Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to 15 days longer, having 
about the same season of growth as our Extra Dark Green 
Savoy. With Old Dominion it is now possible to successfully 
grow an early spring crop on diseased soil, where it was 
previously necessary to take chances with the early seeding 
character of Virginia Blight Resistant. Lb., 25c; 10 Ibs., 
$2.25; 25 Ibs., $5.25; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
SOUTHLAND SUMMER —New special strain of Swiss 
Chard more closely resembling real Spinach, producing large 
heavily crumpled leaves of a bright green color. Will even- 
tually replace New Zealand. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 25c; 
Ib., 75e. 
SORREL 
NARROW LEAVED—Growing in favor with Market Gar- 
deners in preference to the French Broad Leaved, on account 
of its long slender attractive bright green leaves. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; %4 lb., 75c; Ib., $2.25. 
See pages 30 and 31. 
ASPARAGUS 
1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre; 
3,000 plants per acre. 
Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and 
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty 
seeds to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and 
give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. 
Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet 
apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are 
well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early 
the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and 
about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh 
wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as 
the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die 
down. The next season the bed may be cut over two or 
three times. After the final cutting, give a good dressing 
of manure, ashes and salt.
