Ferry's Early Evergreen are about seven to seven and one-half inches long, 



with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular rows with very deep, white 



grain of the very best quality. Stalks about six and one-half to seven feet

CORN SALAD — Fetticus or Lamb's Lettuce 



This is a small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The leaves are used as a substitute for lettuce 

 and spinach. 



During August and September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, covering with about one-fourth inch of 

 fine soil firmly pressed down. On the approach of severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will also do 

 well if the seed is sown very early in spring and like most salad plants, are greatly improved if sown on very rich soil. The seed 

 we offer is extra cleaned. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50
