Rhubarb 



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. -, 

 ounce, 20c.; M lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. Roots, 75c. per dozen; $4.00 per 100. 



Salsify or Oyster Plant 



.*^"'.*"''<'' ■^ fi"« vegetable, used the same as carrots or, having been boiled, 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 supply for use during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, 

 mellow, soil. Sow early m 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 deUcious 

 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 nearly double the size and weight, and of equally good quality.

 the earliest and grown almost exclusively for the first 

 crop. The rind is hard texture, which it makes suitable

 very dry, sweet and rich flavored. Bakes very dry, equally as dry as the Sweet Potato. Our stock is the very best and 

 we don't hesitate to recommend it to the most critical planter. Pkts., 5 and 10c. ; }4 lb., 20c.; lb., 60c.

Early Dawn Squash 



Early Prolific Orange Marrow. A comparatively new fall or 

 winter variety. It is shaped somewhat like the Boston Marrow, but 

 it is a decided improvement on it, being much earlier and more pro- 

 ductive. 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 

 quality. Pkt., 5c.; ounce, 10c. ; H lb., 20c.; j| lb., 30c.; lb., 60c. 



Farr's White Bush Squash 



This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized as the 

 earliest squash on the market. Mr. Charles N. Farr and his family 

 have been perfecting this squash for years. 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 gardeners for the past fifteen years 

 has been from this stock. Fine in appearance, of light green color. 

 Pkt., 10c. ; 14 lb., 20c.; 1 lb., 65c.
