SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS 



19 



RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 



Very familiarly known as the Pie Plant. The foot stalk is the portion that is used, and is the first vege- 

 table of the season from the garden. 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. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 20c.

SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 



SQUASH-Kurbis 



vate growers. 

 % Pound, 40c. 



5 to 8 pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE.— Sow early in 

 spring in drills fifteen inches 

 apart; cover with fine soil 

 one and one-half inches deep; 

 thin to six inches apart. As 

 soil* is strong and inclines to 

 depth and lightness, it propor- 

 tionately is adapted to salsify. 

 As the leaves resemble grass, 

 be careful they are not mis- 

 taken in weeding. Salsify 

 keeps over winter like pars- 

 nips. 



SANDWICH ISLAND MAM- 

 MOTH. — The most popular 

 salsify in cultivation, and far 

 superior to the old varieties 

 in size, weight and produc- 

 tiveness. A strong grower, 

 with large, long, white taper- 

 ing roots, without tendency 

 to branch. We have taken 

 great care in the selection of 

 our seed stock so as to pro- 

 duce not only good size, but 

 the smoothest roots possible, 

 qualities that will be appreci- 

 ated both by market and pri- 



(See cut.) Packet, 5c. Ounce, 15c.

Bush sorts, 1 ounce 

 for 50 hills. Running 

 varieties, 3 to 4 

 pounds, in hills, for 

 an acre. 



CULTURE.— After 



the weather is set- 

 tled and warm, plant 

 in hills five to eight feet apart. Rich soil is best, but 

 if necessary the hills alone may be enriched. 



EARLY WHITE BUSH SCALLOPED, OR PATTY 

 PAN. — The best for early market use. Preferred for 

 table. (See cut.) Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. % Pound,

 sirable table sort. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. % Pound,

BENNING BUSH.— Earlier than the White Bush. 

 Color very light shade of green, bush habit, very pro- 

 ductive 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. Packet, 5c. Ounce,

SPINACH-Spinat 



One ounce for 100 feet of drill. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. 



CULTURE. — Should be planted in very rich ground — the richer the better. It is an important market gar- 

 dener's crop of easy culture. Sow broadcast or in drills if drilled, 12 to 15 inches apart and 1 inch deep, as 

 early as the ground can be worked. Begin thinning out the plants when the leaves are an inch wide. It also 

 is sown in August for fall cutting, and late in September to stand over winter for spring cutting. 



NEW LONG SEASON.— The best for spring 

 sowing, because it will stand longer before run- 

 ning to seed than any other variety. y± Pound,
