Very familiarly known as the Pie Plant. The foot stalk is the portion that is 

 used and is the first vegetable of the season from the garden; cultivated to a great 

 extent and is indispensable wherever it is known. Sow the seed early in the spring 

 in rows 1 foot apart on rich ground; the second year after planting they can be 

 removed in autumn to the permanent spot allotted to them; plant the roots 2 feet 

 apart each way in ground that is well enriched, at least 2 feet deep. Pkt., 10c ;

 made into cakes and fried like oysters, which they resemble in flavor. Cultivate the 

 same as carrots and parsnips. It is hardy, can remain in the ground all winter for 

 early spring use, but should be taken up before it starts growing; take up a supplv 

 for use during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow, soil. Sow 

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



SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH WHITE SALSIFY. One of the most deli-

 quality. Pkts., 5 and 10c. ; % lb., 60c.; Vs lb., $1.00; lb., $2.00.

 more productive. These characteristics will commend this variety to 

 market gardeners, while its brilliant orange-red color and fine keeping 

 and cooking qualities make it popular with the customer. The rind is 

 very hard, but thin, and the flesh deep, fine grained, and of delicate 

 quaUty. Pkt., 5c. and 10c. ; % lb., 25c.; % lb., 40c.; lb., 75c. 



FARR'S BENNINGS WHITE BUSH SQUASH. Our stock of seed 

 this year was raised by Mr. N. E. Farr, one of the originators of this 

 squash. Farr's reputation as a Market Gardener is of the very high- 

 est, and as a straight, honorable gentleman. He is not surpassed by 

 any one. We cannot recommend it too highly. We feel that if you 

 want earliness and beauty you can not go astray in buying this stock. 

 The earliest squash that has come to this market from local garden- 

 ers for the past twenty-five years has been from this stock. Fine 

 in appearance, of light white-green color. Pkt., 10c. ; % lb., 2oc.; 

 1 lb., $1.00.
