market. This radish Is not only crisp and tender when young, but retains these 

 qualities until the roots attain large size, so that it will remain in fine condition

SALSIFY OB VEGETABLE OYSTEB, Long White— The well-known standard. Pkt., 

 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 



Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutritious of vegetables, and should be 

 more generally cultivated for use in winter when the supply of real good vegetables 

 is so limited. It has a grassy top and a long, white, tapering root, nearly resemb- 

 ling a slim parsnip. When properly cooked it resembles closely the ta'^^te and 

 flavor of the oyster and is a good substitute for it; very wholesome and nutritious. 

 The roots are either boiled, or mashed and made into delicious fritters. 



SPINACH, Victoria — The foliage is heavy, the broad dark green leaves being of the 

 true Savoy appearance, and of the finest quality. It remains in prime condition

 slicing. The vines are of strong growth; fruits largely oblong in form, deep 

 through, and generally ridged or ribbed ; deep purple in color. They are solidly 

 fleshy, with small seed cells ; of fine sweet flavor. Planted in good soil, pruned 

 to a single stem, fruits frequently attain a weight of one pound or more. Pkt.,

 that it is a splendid keeper and shipper, and is less liable to crack in wet weather 

 than any other tomato. Unsurpassed for market or the table. The plant is a 

 strong grower and is very productive, bearing with undiminishable vigor until 

 frost. The fruit is free from core, and the seed spaces are comparatively small.

TOMATO, Chalk's Early Jewel — The largest and smoothest of the extra early red 

 tomatoes. Somewhat later, a week or ten days, than Earliana, the fruits are larger 

 and smoother. The vines grow very compactly, are immensely productive and 

 better still, bear continuously throughout the season, in which respect it far 

 surpasses Earliana. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.

 flavor; ripens evenly; a handsome sort. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.

 a longer season in which to grow than do the turnips, and with us the seed should 

 be sown about the first to the middle of July to make large bulbs. The flesh is 

 more solid and richer in flavor than that of the turnips, and they will keep in fine 

 condition more readily during the winter months. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.

 fruited melon in cultivation. These fruits are of good size, rather short and

 strips of lighter green. Flesh bright red, crisp, sweet and of splendid quality.
