Salsify or Oyster Plant 



Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify. 



Five to eight pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE. — Sow early in spring in drills 15 inches apart; 

 cover with fine soil V/i inches deep, thin to 6 inches apart. 

 As soil is strong and inclines to depth and lightness, it pro- 

 portionately is adapted to Salsify. As the leaves resemble grass, 

 be careful they are not mistaken in weeding. Salsify keeps 

 over winter like parsnips. 



SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH— The most popular 

 salsify in cultivation, and far superior to the old varieties in 

 size, weight and productiveness. A strong grower, with large, 

 long, white tapering 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, % lb. 50c, lb. $1.75. 



Spinach— spinat 



One ounce for 100 feet of drill. Sow ten to twelve pounds 

 to the acre. 



NEW ZEALAND — Grows large and produces a large quan- 

 tity of leaves during the summer. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, *4 lb. 25c, 

 lb. 75c. 



VICTORIA — Dark green, crimped leaves. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 

 J4 lb. 20c, lb. 40c. 



NEW LONG SEASON— The best for spring sowing, because 

 it will stand longer before running to seed than any other va- 

 riety. Pkt 5c, oz. 10c, J4 lb. 20c, lb. 40c. 



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 commercial Bloomsdale grown in Holland. 

 The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way especially 

 reselected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy type. Pkt. 5c, 

 oz. 10c, *4 Id- 15c, lb. 30c. 



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, 54 lb., 20c, lb. 40c. 



VIRGINIA SAVOY (Blight Resistant)— This new spinach 

 was originated by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station. It is 

 the result of years of scientific work by the experiment 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, *4 lb. 15c, lb. 30c. 



Squash— Kurbis 



Bush sorts, 1 ounce for 50 hills, 

 pounds, in hills, for an acre. 



Running varieties, 3 to 4 



True Bloomsdale 

 Curly Savoy Spinach. 



Hubbard Squash. 



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, 54 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 



SUMMER CROOKNECK— Early, fine flavor; a desirable 

 table sort. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 54 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 



BENNING BUSH— Earlier than the White Bush; color very 

 light shade of green; bush habit; very productive 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. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 54 lb. 40c, 

 lb. $1.25. 



BOSTON MARROW— A splendid winter squash, of good 

 keeping qualities. Flesh bright orange, fine grain and flavor 

 unsurpassed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 54 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00. 



TRUE HUBBARD— A desirable sort, suitable for winter use.
