CORN SALAD. 



Large-Leaved, Fetticus, or "Lamb's Lettuce. 



Grown for the late fall, winter and spring use . . . 

 CRESS, or PEPPER GRASS. 



Extra Curled. Crisp, pungent leaves 



CUCUMBER. 



(1 oz. for 60 hills; 2 to Z lbs. in hills for an acre.) 



Cool and Crisp, Henderson's. Extra early 



Early Cluster. An early, short green variety. . . . 



Early White Spine. Popular for family use 



Green Prolific. Short green, pickling variety . . . 



Everbearing. Bears fruit until frost 



Extra Early Green Prolific. Ideal for pickling 



The "Henderson" White Spine. The standard 

 extra early, prolific, best for slicing 



West India Gherkin. Used for pickles 



Livingston's Evergreen. Wonderfully prolific .... 

 ENDIVE. {1 oz. for 100 feet of drill.) "Escarolle" and 

 "Chicoree." One of the best salads, especially 

 when blanched; if boiled makes fine "greens." 



Broad-Leaved Batavian. Has large, thick, broad 

 leaves; and forms large hearts 



French Moss Curled. A compact-growing variety 



Green Curled. Best for general use 



White Curled. Finely cut leaves, almost white; 

 can be used without blanching 



Finocchio, or Florence Fennel. A delicious vege- 

 table which should be largely grown. It is ex- 

 tensively used in Italy as a salad, and also may 

 be served boiled. When the leaf stalk, at base of 

 stem, is about the size of a hen's egg it should be 

 earthed up so as to cover half of it, and in about 

 ten days cutting may be commenced and con- 

 tinued as the plants increase in growth. The 

 flavor is somewhat like celery, with a sweet 



taste and delicate odor. {See engraving) 



KALE, or BORECOLE. (1 oz. for 150 feet of drill.) 

 Largely grown for supplying "greens" during 

 the fall, winter and spring; used small, like 

 Spinach; frost improves the quality. 



Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. Sow during June, 

 and transplant for use in fall 



Siberian. Green curly leaves; tender and of deli- 

 cate flavor
