HERBS 



Sweet, Pot and Medicinal 



GOURD 



One oz. will plant 25 hills. 



CULTURE.— Gourds are 

 tender annuals, and should 

 not be planted until all dan- 

 ger of frost is over, and not 

 less than 6 feet apart each 

 way, in good rich loam. Three 

 plants in a hill will be suffi- 

 cient to leave at the last 

 hoeing. 



D I P P E R.— This, like the 

 Sugar Trough, has a thin but 

 hard shell, and can readily be 

 made to serve useful pur- 

 poses. Oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; 

 1 lb., $1.50. 



Sage. 



KALE, or BORECOLE 



German, Blatter-Kohl French, Chou Vert Spanish. Breton 

 One ounce will produce 3,000 plants. 



CULTURE. — Sow from the middle of April to the beginning 

 of May in prepared beds; transplant in June, and treat in 

 the same manner as for Cabbage. Of all the Cabbage tribe, 

 this is the most tender and delicate, and would be much more 

 extensively grown than it is if its excellent qualities were 

 generally known. The varieties are all extremely hardy, and 

 are best when touched by frost. 



Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH, or NORFOLK.— Rarely 

 exceeding 18 inches in height, but spreading out under good 

 cultivation to 3 feet in diameter; leaves beautifully curled and 

 bright green. Oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c. 



GERMAN CURLED.— Price, 35c per lb. 



IMPROVED IMPERIAL CURLED KALE.— A beautifully 

 curled and crumpled sort, of strong, vigorous habit. The 

 leaves are a beautiful dark-green color, and delicate in flavor. 

 A striking feature in this Kale is that it will stand longer 

 before going, to seed than any other. In the latitude of 

 Washington it will stand throughout the winter without pro- 

 tection. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 15c; 1 lb., 50c. 



CULTURE. — The seeds should be sown in Spring, in shal- 

 low drills, 12 inches apart, and the young plants thinned out 

 or transplanted to about 4 inches. They should be harvested 

 on a dry day, just before the blossom develops, dried quickly 

 and bottled, or closely packed in dry boxes, with the air en- 

 tirely excluded.

LEEK 



German. Lauch French, Poireau Spanish, Puerro 



One ounce will plant 200 feet of drill. 



CULTURE. — The Leek is very hardy and easily cultivated; 

 it succeeds best in a light but well-enriched soil. Sow as 

 early in the spring as practicable, in drills 1 inch deep and 

 1 foot apart. When 6 or 8 inches high transplant in rows 10 

 inches apart each way, as deep as possible, that the neck, 

 being covered, may be blanched. 



LARGE LONDON FLAG. — The oldest and best-known and 

 most largely grown variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 50c; 

 1 lb.. $1.25. 



KOHL-RABI 



German. Kohl-Rabi French, Chou-Rave Spanish, Col de nabo 

 One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 



CULTURE. — This vegetable, the popularity of which is 

 rapidly increasing, combines the virtues of the turnip and 

 cabbage, but excels both in nutritive, hardy and productive 

 qualities. The seed may be sown in June, in rows 18 inches 

 apart, and the plants thinned out to 8 or 10 inches in the rows. 



EARLY WHITE VIENNA.— Best for general table use; flesh 

 tender and white. Pkt, 5c; oz., 15c; ^4 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.25. 



LARGE GREEN, or WHITE.— Good for table use and is 

 also used for feeding stock. Same prioes as White Vienna. 



MUSHROOM SPAWN

 benches or in sheds, wherever a temperature of 50 degrees can 

 be kept up throughout the winter. We issue a special cir- 

 cular giving full cultural directions, which will be sent on 

 request. By express — 15c per brick; 10 bricks for $1.30. A

 brick.
