Vaughan's Norfolk Savoy Spinach 



MAMMOTH SAND- 

 WICH ISLAND 

 SALSIFY. 



This is the variety so highly prized by the large planters 

 about Norfolk, Va. The leaves, remarkably thick and 

 blistered, extremely hardy, do not settle in the barrel 

 in shipping as do the other varieties. No seed has caused 

 planters more dissatisfaction than spurious varieties of this, whole crops having 

 been plowed under or abandoned because they were not of the proper kind. Our 

 strain has secured the trade of the largest and best growers in the country.

the common Beet for greens and equal to 

 Spinach. Sown early in the Spring, in rows 16 ins. 

 apart, and the seedlings afterward thinned out to 

 6 ins. in the rows, it makes rapid growth of leaves, 

 and is fit for use for greens sooner than any 

 other variety. For Summer use it is superior to 

 Spinach, because it can be cut throughout the entire 

 Summer and Fall, when no Spinach is to be had. 

 It is of almost the same flavor and it is much easier 

 to wash and prepare for the table. Lb., 40c.; 

 H lb., 15c. No vegetable requires less care than 

 this, and it is safe to say that none yields as con- 

 stantly as this Spinach, producing uninterrupted!;"

Chicago Warted Hubbard SquasK 



Our strain of the above will produce mainly the type shown 

 in our photo-engraving, which we consider the ideal Hubbard 

 for home or for market. For thirty or forty years this Squash 

 has ranked first for a winter keeper. It is shipped thousands 

 of miles in carload lots from west to east every year. 

 With the growing of it in a large way, it was found that 

 the largest, heaviest, dark, rough-skinned specimens are 

 most valuable and most salable. Because of this ottf 

 selection of Chicago Warted Hubbard has been made.

is a bright, deep orange-yellow, very showy and attractive. Flesh

 fully equal to, while in productiveness it far excels the Green variety.
