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. 



Mammoth Sandwich Is- 

 land 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 



Sow in April or May, in drills 1 

 foot apart; when 3 or 4 inches high, 

 thin out in rows 6 to 10 inches apart. 

 Transplant the ensuing fall or spring 

 in rich soil. Set out the roots 3 to 4 

 feet apart each way; the following 

 spring it will be fit to use.

SQUASH

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 large supply of fine "greens" 

 quite early.
