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 suc- 

 ceeds best in a light but well-en- 

 riched 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; 14 lb. 40c; 1 lb. $3.00.

GOURD 



One ounce will plant 25 hills. 



CULTURE. — Gourds are tender annuals, and should not be 

 planted until all danger of frost is over, and not less than 6 

 feet apart each way, in good rich loam. Three plants in a 

 hill will be sufficient to leave at the last hoeing. 



DIPPER. — This, like the Sugar Trough, has a thin but 

 hard shell, and can readily be made to serve useful purposes. 

 Oz. 15c; 14 lb. 50c. 



KOHLRABI 



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. 40c; % lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.00. 



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

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



MUSHROOM SPAWN

 jenches 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 — 25c per brick; 10 bricks for $2.25. A

 brick. 



HERBS 



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.

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. 25c; 14 lb. 85c; 1 lb. $2.75. 



GERMAN CURLED.— Price, $1.25 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. Crop failed.
