HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS 



21 



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 

 11/2 inches deep, thin 

 to 6 inches apart. As 

 soil is strong and in- 

 clines to depth and 

 lightness, it propor- 

 tionately is adapted 

 to Salsify. As the 

 leaves resemble grass, 

 be careful they are 

 not mistaken in weed- 

 ing. Salsify keeps 

 over winter like par- 

 snips. 



Sand-wich Island 

 Mammoth — The most 

 popular salsify in cul- 

 tivation, and far su- 

 perior to the old va- 

 rieties in size, weight 

 and productiveness. A 

 strong grower, with 

 large, long, white ta- 

 pering 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, 14 lb. €0c, lb. $2.00. 



Mammoth Sand\Wch 



Squash— Kurbis 



Bush sorts, 1 ounce for 50 hills. Running varie- 

 ties, 3 to 4 pounds, in hills, for an acre. 



CULTURE.— After the weather is settled and 

 warm, plant in hills 5 to 8 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. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 14 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.

Summer Crookneck — Early, fine flavor; a desir- 

 able table sort. Pkt. 5c, oz. ISc, % lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 



Benning Bush — Earlier than the White Bush ; 

 color very light shade of green; bush habit; verv 



productive and attractive appearance. The improve- 

 ment 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. (See illus- 

 tration.) Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 14 lij. 50c, lb. $1.50.

 ter use. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, % lb- 30c, lb. $1.00.

True Bloomsdale Curly Savoy Spinach 



New Long Season — The best for spring sowing, 

 because it will stand longer before running to seed 

 than any other variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, % lb. 30c, 

 lb. 75c. 



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 com- 

 mercial Bloomsdale grown in Holland. The plants 

 are large, heavy, uniform and in every way espe- 

 cially reselected to match the ideal Bloomsdale 

 Savoy type. Pkg. 5c, oz. 10c, M lb. 20c, lb. 40. 



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, 14 lb. 30c, lb. 75c. 



Virginia Savoy (Blight Resistant) — This new 

 spinach was originated by the Virginia Truck Ex- 

 periment Station. It is the result of years of scien- 

 tific work by the expernnent 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. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 14 lb. 20c, lb. 40c
