Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch Kale 



One of the choicest vegetables for boiling greens and 

 certainly unlike all others. Plants will withstand 

 considerable frost, which seems to improve the 

 flavor. In most sections of the country they live 

 nearly all winter. Sow seed in July and thin to 12 in. 

 apart in rows 24 to 36 in. apart. A packet produces 

 about 300 plants; an oz. 3,000 plants; K lb. for an acre. 



305 Dwarf B9ue 

 Curled Scotch & 



Very tightly curled leaves (55 days) 



Very early and very hardy, low-growing, 

 compact plants with densely curled, dark 

 green leaves making admirable greens. 

 Plants seldom grow more than 18 in. tall. 

 A most satisfactory, long-standing plant. 

 Never bolts to seed prematurely. 



Pkt. 100; oz. 300; Vi lb. 950. 



304 Hardy Dwarf Siberian 



Healthful greens during the winter (60 days) 



An extremely hardy, dwarf, spreading 

 kale with broad, thick leaves of a grayish 

 green color and slightly curled at the 

 edges. Better than capsules or pills, kale 

 is an unusually fine source of vitamins A, 

 Bi, B2, and C — and tastes good besides! 



Pkt. 10f<; oz. 300; Vi lb. 900; Vi lb- $1.60. 



Mustard 



Sow seed broadcast or in rows 1 to IK ft. apart and 

 thin young plants to stand 4 to 6 in. apart in the

The most popular variety (40 days)

 spinach. Plants grow 2 ft. tall, and have long, light green 

 leaves which are held high above the ground. The flavor is 

 very mild. Plant thinly and very shallow after the ground 

 has become thoroughly warm. Let plants stand 18 in. apart.

 18 in. apart and cover 1 in. deep. Thin 

 plants to stand 4 to 6 in. apart in rows. 

 Draw earth up around plants when 

 cultivating to blanch as you would 

 celery. A packet will sow 25 ft. of row; 

 an ounce. 200 ft. 



313 Giant Italian 



Mild onion flavor (85 days) 



Stems are long, thick, and after 

 blanching are pure white, ten- 

 der, and more cie'icate in flavor 

 than the mildest onion. For 

 soups, stews or finely sliced in 

 mixed salads. The stalks are 

 also prepared and served like 

 asparagus. Responds very well 

 to fertilizer.

Mushrooms 



Mushroom growing is simple but exact, and with the 

 proper care heavy and profitable yields are obtained. 

 Many of our customers make money by growing 

 them for restaurants, hotels, stores, or private trade. 

 They can be grown in cellars, sheds, under green- 

 house benches, small caves, etc. Mushrooms pro- 

 duce no seed, but instead a white, fibrous substance 

 called spawn, which we furnish in 1 lb. bricks. Our 

 stock is always fresh, pure culture, and selected with 

 the utmost care to insure a crop of pure white 

 mushrooms of perfect uniformity for color, size, and 

 shape. Fresh horse manure, unvaried temperature, 

 and controlled moisture are the chief essentials for 



69B68 Pure Culture Spawn 



One brick spawns 10 sq. ft. of bed 



If proper spawning conditions are avail- 

 able, mushrooms are easy to raise. The 

 cfop may be harvested continuously over 

 a period of two to four months. Temper- 

 ature must always remain between 50° and 

 63°, and fresh horse manure must be avail- 

 able. Inexperienced growers should write 

 for our free leaflet on mushroom cul- 

 ture. A copy of this leaflet is included 

 with each brick of spawn. 



1 brick 500; 3 bricks $1.35; 12 bricks $4.25. 



Okra pods are used for thickening and flavoring 

 soups, stews, catsup and other relishes. They are 

 also used as a vegetable when the pods are young. 

 The pods develop very rapidly, and should be 

 picked regularly as they appear for best quality and 

 to lengthen the producing season. Sow in May and 

 June, after the ground is warm, in rows 3 ft. apart; 

 cover the seed with about 1 in. of soil; thin young 

 plants to stand 18 in. apart in the row. Use a packet 

 for 15 ft. of row; an ounce for 50 ft.; 8 lbs. for an acre.

 easier to pick. Pods are 7 to 9 in. long, 1 in. 

 in diameter, only slightly grooved, and of 

 fine quality. Pkt. 10^; oz. 200 ; Vi lb- 45*:.
