RADISHES (Continued) 



Phila. Model White Box (Forcing) 



It is of most handsome shape, 

 very early and has but few 

 leaves, thus making it of special value for growing in hotbeds or "boxes," and one- 

 third more radishes can be grown in the same space than with most other sorts. It 

 is of clear white color, solid, juicy and unsurpassed in flavor.

 ready for use in 20 to 26 days from sowing the seed, and their long, slender form 

 and pure paper-white skin are most attractive when bunched for market.

SORREL 



BROAD AND NARROW LEAVED 



A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 

 boiling "greens" or salad. Seed should be sown thinly in 

 drills early in spring. When well started thin out to stand 

 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. The leaves can be gathered 

 for use at any time after the plants are well started in 

 growth, and the roots will continue to produce a further 

 supply. The plant is entirely hardy, and, starting into 

 growth early the following spring, will afford a large supply 

 of fine "greens" quite early. 



SALSIFY 



OR OYSTER PLANT 

 1 oz. for 50 feet of drill. 



Requires a well enriched, mellow 

 soil, which, previous to sowing the 

 seeds, should be stirred to a depth of 

 18 inches. Sow early in the spring in 

 drills 15 inches apart; cover the seed 

 with fine soil 1% inches in depth, and 

 when the plants are strong enough 

 thin out to 6 inches apart. As the 

 leaves resemble grass, be careful they 

 are not mistaken for it when weeding.
