CULTURE. A nne vege- 

 table, used the same as car- 

 rots or, having been boiled, 

 made into cakes and fried 

 like oysters, which they re- 

 semble in flavor. Cultivate 

 the same as carrots and 

 parsnips. It Is hardy, can

 fore it starts growing; take 

 up a supply for use during 

 the winter. Succeeds best

 mellow soil. Sow early in 

 the spring in drills 15 ins. 

 apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 

 6 inghes in the rows. 



116. Sandwich Island 

 Mammoth. One of the 



most delicious of winter 

 vegetables, and also one 

 of the most nutritious; the 

 flavor is sweet and highly 

 esteemed. This variety, 

 where known, is entirely 

 superseding the old type, 

 as it produces roots near- 

 ly double the size and 

 weight, and of equally 

 good quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; 



Salsify, or Vegetable Oyster, 



oz. 20 cts.; 54 lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2.25. 



10116. Bolgiano's Great Giant. By far the largest, 

 smoothest, most tender salsify ever sold to the trucker. Its 

 delicious flavor and attractive appearance bring the buyers 

 and holds their trade. It easily outsells every other salsify, 

 and outyields all other varieties. Truckers who have tried 

 the "Great Giant" say it is ideal. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz, 20 cts.; '/4 

 lb. 65 els.; lb. $2.25.

SPINACH 



Two Ounces for 

 100 Feet of Drill. 



CULTURE. This is an Important market gardener's crop, of 

 easy culture. For spring and summer use sow either broadcast 

 or in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep as early as the ground 

 can be worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For winter 

 and early spring use sow in September in well-manured ground; 

 cover with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. The 

 ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more 

 delicate and succulent will ioe the leaves. 



592. Bolgiano's Selected Bloomsdale Savoy. A 



mammoth seeded selection that possesses a vitality and vigor 

 of growth and far outyields any other variety. After many 

 years of tireless efi'ort at breeding we are pleased to be able 

 to offer a limited quantity of this improvement on the old 

 standby. So we would advise your early orders, for when our 

 stock gives out, you will have to wait until our new crop is 

 harvested. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; !,^ lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 



593. Curled Long Season, a spinach that is curled 

 like the old standard sort, the Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach, yet 

 much more vigorous in growth, large and very handsome. It 

 stands the hot summer heat, and yet has tender leaves. It 

 is positively the best spinach to be grown in the spring and 

 summer. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '/4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 



10592. Norfolk Bloomsdale Curled Savoy Blight 

 Resistant, its groui;h is rapid and leaf is properly curled, 

 which gives it a very attractive appearance. It will grow on 

 disease infested soil and produce a crop where others fail. 

 It is the favorite with the largest growers. Pkt. 5 and 10 

 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; "4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 30 cts. 



70. Princess Juliana. (Of recent introduction). Very 



long standing, heat resisting, handsome dark green. The 

 dark green leaves are very thick and well crumpled. Abso- 

 lutely without male plants which is the cause of its stand- 

 ing so long without shooting to seed. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 '/4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 50 cts. 



120. Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. This new 

 selection possesses extreme merit for the spring crop. While 

 not quite so early as the old type Savoy, it may be har- 

 vested long after other types have grown to seed. The dark 

 green, heavy foliage is as heavily savoyed as the best of 

 other strains. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '/4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 

 50 cts. 



55. King of Denmark. Especially desirable for 

 sowing during April and May. Being a vigorous and rapid 

 grower it is ready for use practically as early as any, and 

 will remain in good eating condition fully two weeks longer 

 than most sorts. The plants are dwarf and stocky with 

 large, rounded, crumpled or blistered leaves, extra large in 

 size and of a deep green. It fills a long-felt want, bri^lging 

 the gap between the early Spring crop and the time when 

 the New Zealand is ready. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 

 20 cts.; lb. 50 cts.

 ity. It is in prime condition from two weeks to three weeks 

 after other varieties of spinach have run to seed. Pkt. 10 

 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts.

 heavy, the broad dark green leaves are of the very finest 

 quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 



Selected Bloomsdale Spinach 



5891/2. Spring Spinach. The most valuable for spring 

 sowing. Its long-standing quality makes it the best for that 

 purpose. The foliage is very attractive, heavy dark green, 

 curled leaves, of the true Savoy appearance. It will stand 

 from 2 to 3 weeks after other varieties of spinach have shot 

 to seed. It can be planted all spring and summer with surety 

 of making a crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; 

 lb. 45 cts. 



212. New Zealand (Tetragonia expansa). This is 

 very different in character of growth, and when started early 

 in the spring the plants will resist hot weather and produce 

 right up until hard freezing weather sets in an abundance 

 of thick, fleshy succulent leaves. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 '/4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.00.
