One Ounce for 50 Feet of Drill; 10 Pounds to an Acre. 



CULTURE. A fine vegetable, used the same as carrots or, having been

 flavor. Cultivate the same as carrots and parsnips. It is hardy, can re- 

 main in the ground all winter for early spring use, but should be taken 

 up before it starts growing ; take up a supply for use during the winter. 

 Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow soil. Sow early in the 

 spring in drills 15 ins. apart, 1 inch deep ; thin to 6 inches in the rows.

 Mammoth, (no days.) 



One of the most delicious 

 of winter vegetables, and 

 also one of the most nu- 

 tritious; the flavor is sweet 

 and highly esteemed. This 

 variety, where known, is 

 entirely superseding the 

 old type, as it produces 

 roots nearly double the 

 size and weight, and of 

 equally good quality. Pkt.

 tractive appearance bring 

 the buyers and holds their 

 trade. It easily outsells 

 every other salsify, and 

 outyields all other varie- 

 ties. Truckers who have tried the "Great Giant" sav it is 

 ideal. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; «4 lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.50; 2-lb.
