Salsify or Oyster Plant 
Five to eight pounds to an acre. 
CULTURE.—Sow early in spring in drills 15 inches apart; 
cover with fine soil 1% inches deep, thin to 6 inches apart. 
As soil is strong and inclines to depth and lightness, it pro- 
portionately is adapted to Salsify. As the leaves resemble grass, 
be careful they are not mistaken in weeding. Salsify keeps 
over winter like parsnips. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify. 
SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH—The most popular 
salsify in cultivation, and far superior to the old varieties in 
size, weight and productiveness. A strong grower, with large, 
long, white tapering roots; without tendency to branch. We 
have taken great care in the selection of our seed stock so as 
to produce not only good size, but the smoothest roots possible, 
qualities that will be appreciated both by market and private 
growers. (See illustration.) Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, % Ib. 50c, Ib. $1.50.

riety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, %4 Ib. 15c, lb. 30c. 
MANN’S RESELECTED BLOOMSDALE SAVOY—This 
new strain has been developed in response to the urgent demand 
on the part of large spinach growers for an improvement in the 
quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale grown in Holland. 
Sow ten to twelve pounds

Mann’s Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy.

reselected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy type. Pkt. 5c, 
oz. 10c, %4 Ib. 15c, lb. 30c. 
NEW SPRING—A valuable sort; its attractive dark green 
_color, long-standing and hardy character make it desirable for 
both spring and late sowing. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, % Ib. 15c, Ib. 30c. 
VIRGINIA SAVOY (Blight Resistant)—This new spinach 
was originated by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station. It is 
the result of years of scientific work by the experiment station 
and has proved a great success the past three years. It is a 
decided improvement over Bloomsdale Savoy as its blight-proof 
qualities and correct habit of growth makes it more valuable.

BENNING BUSH—FEarlier than the White Bush; color very 
light shade of green; bush habit; very productive and attractive 
appearance. The improvement of the Benning Bush Squash 
over the old sort is quite distinct, in that it is earlier and has a 
very beautiful light shade of green color, in place of the creamy 
white which the older sort has. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, %4 Ib. 40c,
