 of winter vegetables, and 

 also one of the most nu-

 entirely superseding the 

 old type, as it produces

 trade. It easily outsells 

 every other salsify, and 

 outyields all other varie- 

 ties. Truckers who have tried the "Great Giant" sav it is 

 ideal. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; V4 lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.50; 2-lb.
