RADISH, Early Scarlet Turnip — A valuable variety for forcing or out-door culture,

SALSIFY OR VEGETABLE OYSTER, Long White — The well-known standard. Pkt., 
4 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. 
1 Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutritious of vegetables, and should be 
more generally cultivated for use in winter when the supply of real good vegetables 
is so limited. It has a grassy top and a long, white, tapering root, nearly resemb- 
ling a slim parsnip. When properly cooked it resembles closely the taste and 
flavor of the oyster and is a good substitute for it: very wholesome and nutritious. 
The roots are either boiled, or mashed and made into delicious fritters. 
SPINACH, Victoria — The foliage is heavy, the broad dark green leaves being of tue 
true Savoy appearance, and of the finest quality. It remains in prime condition 
from two to three weeks after all other varieties have run to seed. Pkt., 4 cts.; 
oz., 10 cts. 
SQUASH. Hubbard — The most popular and widely used of the winter squashes. 
Fruit is oblong and pointed, neavily warted, dark greeD in color, with orange- 
colored flesh. Is remarkable for its keeping qualities. Pkt., 4 cts.; oz., 10 cts.

ducing fruit ready lor use very early in the summer. Pkt., 4 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
SQUASH, Golden Summer Crookneck — Plants of true bush growth, very early fruiting 
and productive. The squashes are of the crookneck type, rich golden yellow, thickly 
warted. Pkt., 4 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
TOMATO, Ponderosa — This is the largest-fruited Tomato and is of fine quality for 
slicing. The vines are of ntroug growth; fruits largely oblong in form, deep 
through, and generally ridged or ribbed; deep purple in color. They are solidly 
fleshy, with small seed cells; of fine sweet flavor. Planted in good soil, pruned 
to a single stem, fruits frequently attain a weight of one pound or more. Pkt., 
4 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 
TOMATO, Chalk’s Early Jewel — The largest and smoothest of the extra early red 
tomatoes. Somewhat later, a week or ten days, than Earliana, the fruits are larger 
and smoother. The vines grow very compactly, are immensely productive and 
'better still, bear continuously throughout the season, in which respect it far 
surpasses Earliana. l*kt., 4 its.; oz., 15 cts. 
RUTA BAGAS, or “Swedish” Turnips — These Swedish or Russian Turnips require 
a longer season in which to grow than do the turnips, and with us the seed should 
be sown about the first to the middle of July to make large bulbs. The flesh is 
more solid and richer In flavor than that of the turnips, and they will keep in fine 
condition more readily during the winter months. Pkt., 4 cts.; oz., 10 cts.

oz., 10 cts.

WATERMELON. Swort Heart — T,arge heavy fruits of oval or round form; skin very 
palo green, with distinct netted linos of n slightly darker shade. The large hand- 
some fruits bear shipping well. The solid flesh is a deep rich red, crisp and melt- 
ing. Pkt., 4 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
This list of vegetable seeds which T am offering is the best to be obtained, 
while not containing the novelties of the larger houses, it is true and tried, the 
very limited space prevents me from illustrating the different varieties ns I 
should like but tin* selection 1 have made is t lie choicest. If .von have never grown 
your own vegetables try a few this year, the packets are full size, and offered at 
v«»ry much reduced prices. For larger quantities by express at customer’s expense, 
Write for special prices.
