 most delicious of winter 

 vegetables, and also one 

 of the most nutritious; the

 esteemed. This variety, 

 where known, is entirely 

 superseding the old type, 

 as it produces roots near-

 weight, and of equally 

 good quality. Pkt. 10 cts.;

 tender salsify ever sold to 

 the trucker. Its delicious 

 flavor and attractive ap- 

 pearance bring the buyers 

 and holds their trade. It 

 easily outsells every other 

 salsify, and outyields all 

 other varieties. Truckers

 Giant" say it is ideal. Pkt.

 Gentlemen: 



A few years ago I used to get seed from, you that was all 

 0. K. I have gotten onion seed from others that would not 

 make the bulb, they would all go to neck, so I am ordering 

 again from you. (Signed) John Absaham.
