566 FORDHOOK FANCY. The ordinary Mus- 

 lard Plant is usually eaten as a salad only; 

 but Fordhook Fancy is used cooked like 

 Spinach, as well as eaten raw. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 75c 



803 MUSTARD SPINACH. An Entirely New 

 Vegetable Recently Introduced. It has a most 

 delicious flavor peculiarly its own, and com- 

 bines in itself the qualities of both Spinach 

 and Mustard. 



It makes an excellent spinach grown in the 

 same way, and it has the advantage over 

 any other plant used for greens, because it 

 is ready for the table in from three to three 

 and one-half weeks from planting the seed. 



A continuous supply for the table may be 

 had by making successive sowings, because 

 „it flourishes during hot weather, as well as in 

 moderate periods when ordinary varieties of 

 spinach fail to grow. 



Chemical analysis shows this plant to have 

 abundant protein, mineral matter, lime and 

 iron.

While peas are a cool weather crop, vet- 

 eran gardeners have found that they can get 

 worth while crops by sowing seed early in 

 August. The plants from this sowing come 

 into full growth in the cool days of early fall 

 and crop well before the first frost. Make the 

 rows 2 to 3 feet apart, and thin the seedlings 

 to 2 inches apart. Two pounds sow a double 

 drill of 100 feet. 



174 UTILE MARVEL. A fine extra early pro- 

 lific dwarf variety, only a few days later 

 than the earliest garden peas. The dark green 

 vines, 18 to 20 inches high, grow vigorously 

 and are laden with pods 3 inches long, which 

 are packed with peas of medium size. 

 Price, pkt. 15c; Vt lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00 



172 LAXTON'S PROGRESS. The earliest of the 

 sweet large-podded varieties. Our experience 

 is that in the latitude of New York, Laxton's 

 Progress is four days earlier than Laxtonian, 

 heretofore considered the earliest large- 

 podded pea. 



Price, pkt., 10c; Vz lb., 30c; 

 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.00 



183 PROSPERITY. The 3 ft. vines produce an 

 enormous crop of large pods averaging 4 

 inches in length, which contain 6 to 9 large 

 peas of excellent quality and flavor. 

 Price, pkt. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 5 lbs. S2.03
