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 144 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. 
Mammoth Sandwich Is- 
lan A new and improved type, 
producing roots of nearly 
double the size and weight of the old 
varieties; mild and delicately flavored. 
RHUBARB or Pie Plant

foot apart; when 3 or 4 inches high, 
thin out in rows 6 to 10 inches apart.

in rich soil. Set out the roots 3 to 4 
feet apart each way; the following 
spring it will be fit to use.

SORREL 
LARGE-LEAVED FRENCH 
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 a laree supply of fine “greens” 
quite early.

1 oz. of bush sorts to 40 hills; large seeded 15 hills. 
2 lbs. of bush sorts to acre; large seeded 3 to 4 to acre. 
Squashes, like other vines, are partial to a light, dry, rich 
soil. Plant the running varieties in hills 10 feet apart each 
way; thin out to three plants in a hill. Cultivate frequently 
until the vines commence running, after which do not work 
the soil deep. Use Paris Green to destroy bugs, as with 
Cucumbers. Plant Bush Squashes in hills 5 feet apart each 
way; thin out to four plants in a hill.
