WATER CRESS 



(Roripa Nasturtium.) Native of Great Britain, 

 although not cultivated prior to the nineteenth century. 

 German, Brunnenkresse; Italian, Nasturzio aquatico; 

 Polish, Rzerzucha wodna 

 One ounce of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 12 pounds 

 plant an acre 



A hardy perennial which finds congenial conditions 

 for development in running streams, shallow pools, 

 etc. It will winter well when covered with water. 

 Unless current is too strong, we would advocate 

 sowing the seeds in the stream, being very sure that 

 they are somewhat imbedded. Care should be 

 taken that no weeds interfere with the growth. 

 Once the bed is established it should develop with 

 very little attention or care. Price, large pkt.

 Brassica and resembling kale more than any other 

 of that family. It is grown in a large way in the 

 South for greens. The plant will grow from 2 to 4 

 feet high, forming no heads, but the central leaves 

 often form a loose rosette. Price, large pkt. 10 cts.,

GARDEN CRESS 



Garden Cress (Lepidium sativum.) Probably native 

 of Persia. Under cultivation from the most ancient times. 

 German, Garten-Kresse; Italian, Agretto; Polish, Rzerzucha 

 One ounce of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 12 pounds 

 plant an acre 



Fxtra -(^iirl*»rl Sometimes called Pepper 

 Grass owing to the pungent 

 taste. One of the quickest germinating seeds in 

 existence, the plants often showing above the 

 ground the third day after seed is sown. If Cress 

 is wanted in the best condition, new sowings 

 should be made every few days. Sow the seed 

 rather thickly in rows a foot apart, selecting good 

 garden loam. Flea beetles are fond of Cress. Grown 

 under glass whenever possible. Price, large pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., y4lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00, delivered. 



DANDELION 



The Commion Dandelion is very often collected 

 in the spring for greens. It is the Improved Thick- 

 leaved, however, that is most often cultivated. This 

 is of French origin. It is distinguished by its thick 

 leaves and rich dark green color. Its growth is com- 

 pact, forming an upright tuft in the center, and may 

 be considered in every respect superior to the Com- 

 mon French. The seed should be sown in the 

 spring.
