Gourd 
CULTURE —Gourds are tender annuals of trailing 
or climbing habit. The seed should not be planted 
until the ground is warm. Plant in hills and cultivate 
as cucumbers. Leave only two plants to a hill and 
allow the vines to ramble or train over a trellis for 
shading windows. 
MIXED VARIETIES—(Pkt. 10c). 
Kohlrabi 
COLINABO 
CULTURE —This vegetable is a cross between a 
cabbage and a turnip. The edible portion is the large 
bulb which forms on the stem above the soil. We 
advise successive sowing in order to obtain tender 
bulbs, which have a mild, delicate, cabbage-like flavor. 
It is a hardy plant and seed may be sown practically 
all the year around, with the exception of the hottest 
months. Plant it like turnips and thin to six inches 
apart in row. One ounce of seed will produce 2000 
plants.

ing a flavor all its own. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 30c); (Vi lb.

Vienna, except in color. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 25c); (Vi lb.

Leek 
PUERRO 
CULTURE —Leek is a very hardy plant with a 
sweet, onion-like flavor. It resembles the young onion 
growth in the Spring as it does not bulb. The neck 
or stems are blanched by drawing the earth up about 
them as the plant grows in size or they can be trans¬ 
planted to trenches and the trench gradually filled as 
the plant grows. They should be planted in drills or 
rows 16 to 20 inches apart and the plants 10 to 12 
inches apart. Plant seed in seed bed, broadcast or in 
drills, covered to depth of one-half inch, and when 
they are about as thick as a good-sized goose quill 
they should be transplanted. 
LARGE LONDON— A large and strong plant (Pkt. 
5c); (oz. 25c); ('/ 4 lb. 85c); (1 lb. $2.50); postpaid. 
Lettuce 
LECHUGA 
Lettuce Seed Our Specialty—Write for Quantity Prices 
CULTURE —Use only old seed for early planting. 
Plant seed September 10th to December 15th. How¬ 
ever, lettuce seed does not germinate well in hot 
weather. It is also difficult to keep soil moist, and 
warm Falls have a tendency to cause loose or flower 
heads. Medium soil preferred, but do not use alkali, 
or light sandy soil. High, flat ridges about 3% feet 
from center to center, with tops smoothed to about 
16 inches, plant double row as near to the edge as 
possible. Use 1% pounds of seed to the acre. Soil 
should never be allowed to dry out after planting. 
Thinning and weeding should be done about one 
month after planting, thin to 12 inches. Cultivate 
after each irrigation. Seed sown in September should 
be ready for market about December 15th. 
NUMBER 12, NEW YORK— A type of early matur¬ 
ing Lettuce. Matures about 10 days earlier than the 
regular New York and cuts evenly. This should be 
planted for early Fall and Spring crops. (Pkt. 5c); 
(oz. 20c); (Vi lb. 65c); (1 lb. $2.00); postpaid. 
NEW YORK SPECIAL — Hardy, uniform heads, 
wavy light green outer leaves with the center bleached 
pure white. Crisp, tender and with a flavor that 
never fails to please. In planting New York Market 
Lettuce, be sure to thin out to ten inches between 
plants, as it does not head well if allowed to grow 
thick. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (Vi lb. 60c); (1 lb. $1.75); 
postpaid. 
Muskmelons 
MELONE OR CANTALOUPE 
CULTURE —Muskmelons must not under ordinary 
gardening conditions be planted until all danger of 
frost is past. Warm ground is essential to the germi¬ 
nation of the seed, for if planted too early in the 
Spring it will rot. It is highly important that your 
soil should be in proper planting condition. First, it 
must be thoroughly soaked or irrigated. Second, as 
quickly as the moisture has thoroughly penetrated 
and the soil is in a tillable or workable condition, 
spade or plow the ground and see that it is thorough¬ 
ly pulverized. Third, prepare furrows 6 to 8 inches 
in depth and 5 to 7 feet apart, according to space 
you can spare. Fourth, plant the seed in the fur'rpws
