MISS C. H. LII'PINCOTT, HUDSON, WISCONSIN. 
SALSIFY OR VEGETABLE OYSTER, Long White — The well-known standard. 
Pkt., 5 els.; oz., 10 cts. 
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 resembling 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 the 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., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
SQUASH, Hubbard — The most popular and widely used of the winter squashes. Fruit is 
oblong and pointed, heavily waited, dark green in color, with orange-colored flesh. Is 
remarkable for its keeping qualities. l*kt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
SQUASH, Early White Bush Scalloped — The plants are of true bush growth, producing 
fruit ready for use very early in the summer. Pkt., 5 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., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
TOMATO, Ponderosa — This is the largest-fruited Tomato and is of fine quality for slicing. 
The vines are of strong growth; fruits largely oblong in form, deep through, and gener- 
ally ridged or ribbed; deep purple in color. They are solidly fleshy, with small s-ecl 
cells: of fine sweet flavor. Planted in good soil, pruned to a single stem, fruits fre- 
quently attain a weight of one pound or more. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 80 cts. 
TOMATO, Burpee’s Matchless — The color is rich cardinal red. The skin is so tough 
that it is a splendid keeper and shipper, and is less liable to crack in wet weather than 
any other tomato. Unsurpassed for market or the table. The plant Is a strong grower 
and Is very productive, bearing with undiminished vigor until frost. The fruit is free 
from core, and the seed spaces are comparatively small. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 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 contin- 
uously throughout the season, in which respect it far surpasses Earliana. 
Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 
TOMATO, Golden Queen — Best of the large yellow varieties. Fruit smooth, of finest 
llavor; ripens evenly; a handsome sort. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 
RUT A 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., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 
TURNIP, Golden Ball, or Orange Jelly — Very tender and of fine flavor. 
Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 ets. 
TURNIP, White, Early, Flat Dutch — Strap-leaved. A medium sized, flat variety; clear 
white, o^rly and of fine flavor. A fine table variety. Pkt., 5 ets.; oz., 10 cts. 
WATERMELON, Fordhook Early — Without a rival. This is the earliest large-fruited 
melon in cultivation. These fruits are of good size, rather short and bloclcy in form, with 
large diameter. Skin dark green, occasionally with faint strips of lighter green. Flesh 
bright red, crisp, sweet and of splendid quality. Rind quite thin, but skin tough. 
Pkt., 5 cts., oz., 10 cts.
