Bloomsdale Large- 

 Leaved, 35 days — 



So named by reason of pro- 

 ducing, when fully grown, 

 immense leaves which are 

 as long and as broad as the 

 largest Tobacco. These 

 same leaves when size of a 

 man's hand are very 

 tender and admirable as a 

 salad. The leaves when 

 twice that size we recom- 

 mend for boiling as 

 Spinach. This plant should 

 have a place in every 

 Southern garden. An im- 

 mense amount of edible 

 material can be raised on a 

 very limited space.

Mushroom Spawn 



The culture of Mushrooms to the initiated is very easy, but it is a subject of much difficulty to the 

 novice. We cannot attempt here to give at length the necessary directions, but refer the inquirer to some 

 of the publications upon the subject. 



Kept on sale in the form of bricks. Two bricks of spawn broken up into pieces an inch in size will 

 spawn a surface a yard square. The spawn is planted in dark pits, caves, in outdoor hot-beds, or on banks 

 of compost. Better-quality spawn cannot be bought than that we offer.

Watermelon 



Three Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. 



When the Black Walnut is in one-inch leaf, plant Melons. 



Watermelons do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for their reception by plowing down a 

 crop of Wmter Wheat or Wmter Rye, the sod or grain aerating or keeping loose the soil. When the Walnut 

 is m bloom the seed is planted in hills at 10 feet apart in each direction. Two large shovelfuls of well- 

 rotted stable manure dug and trampled into each hill and covered with earth. 



The cultivator should be prepared with quite 4 pounds of seed to the acre, that he may have a reserve 

 for replanting in case of destruction of his plants by insect depredations or beating rains 



One vine alone to the hill should be allowed to attain perfection. With 450 hills to the acre there 

 should be 900 first-class Melons. 



Much of the Melon seed offered throughout the country is the product of immature and deformed 

 Melons remammg m the field after all the choice fruit has been selected.

ihiMiiMi vtii V i^i^iiiiiv, ffw uuj«#. rmd is a black-green, both green and white 

 part bemg only a quarter of an inch thick. Just beneath the skin the interior is of an 

 intense scarlet color of a uniform brilliancy— no white meat— and the color, which we term 

 scarlet, IS of a most dazzling effect. The meat, without an interior break or crack, is crystal- 

 Ime, delicious m flavor and produces exclamations of surprise from anyone who sees one of 

 the melons cut. An entirely new form, as indicated by the arrangement of the seeds.
