TESTED AND RELIABLE SEEDS 
39 
BLOOMSDALE—A valuable variety which is being 
more extensively grown each year. Upright in growth, 
producing a cluster of large thick leaves. Several 
crates were shipped East with lettuce the past sea¬ 
son, and it brought top-notch prices. We recom¬ 
mend it highly. (Pkt. 5c); (Vi lb. 20c); (1 lb. 60c);

Salsify 
SALSIFY BLANCO 
Vegetable Oyster

foot apart and one inch deep, thinning out plants to

superior variety, mild and delicately flavored. (Pkt. 
5c); (oz. 25c); (Vi lb. 85c); (1 lb. $2.50); postpaid. 
Squash 
CALABAZA 
CULTURE —The squash is very tender; it is de¬ 
stroyed by frost, and the seed is apt to fail in cold 
ground; therefore it should not be planted until all 
danger of frost is past. Plant in hills five feet apart 
for bush varieties, and six to eight feet apart for 
vining varieties, putting six to eight seeds in a hill, 
when plants are strong, thin to three in a hill. Of the 
bush varieties, one ounce will plant 40 hills, and of the 
larger seeded sorts, about 15 hills. Two to three 
pounds to the acre. 
BANANA —This Squash grows from one to two feet 
in length. Flesh firm and solid, of beautiful orange- 
yellow and excellent quality. It keeps from one sea¬ 
son until another. When quite young it is excellent 
to cook as a marrow. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi lb. 50c); 
(1 lb. $1.50); postpaid. 
GOLDEN HUBBARD— Similar to the Green Hub¬ 
bard except in color, which is a deep orange. Flesh 
deep golden yellow, fine grained; cooks dry and is of 
excellent flavor. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (Vi lb. 50c); 
(1 lb. $1.50); postpaid. 
FORD HOOK —One of the best late Summer vari¬ 
eties. Will keep well for months if stored in a cool, 
dry place. Thick skin of a bright yellow color; heavy 
meat that can be used at any stage of growth; fruits 
oblong in form, 8 to 10 inches in length; slightly 
ridged. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (Vi lb. 60c); (1 lb. $1.75);

Summer squash; skin bright yellow, covered with 
warty excrescences. Very early, productive and of 
excellent flavor. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi lb. 50c); 
(1 lb. $1.50); postpaid.

good things that are said about it. It is preferred to 
any other by those who know it. Good keeper and 
excellent for pies. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi lb. 50c); 
(1 lb. $1.50); postpaid. 
WHITE BUSH SQUASH 
Early White Bush Scalloped 
The most popular squash because of its earliness 
and productiveness; skin and flesh a light cream 
color. A general favorite. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi lb. 
45c); (1 lb. $1.25); postpaid. 
Improved Hubbard 
IMPROVED HUBBARD —Best Winter variety, vig¬ 
orous and productive. Fruit large, weighty, moder¬ 
ately warted, hard-shell, color dark bronze green. A 
fine-grained, thick, dry, richly flavored, orange yellow 
flesh. Baked it is similar to and as luscious as a 
sweet potato. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi >b. 50c); (1 lb. 
$1.50); postpaid. 
ITALIAN or ZUCCHINI SQUASH— Is a bush variety 
and should be planted five feet apart. It should be 
used when quite young. When stewed it has a rich, 
creamy flavor not equalled by another squash. Some 
gardeners have made considerable money making a 
specialty of it. For the family garden we whould 
recommend its use instead of the small white bush 
scallop, because of the excellent flavor and it is much 
more prolific. Try a packet or an ounce and be con¬ 
vinced of the delicious flavor. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); 
(Vi lb. 50c); (1 lb. $1.50); postpaid. 
Tomatoes 
TAMATA 
CULTURE —Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not 
over-rich soil, and success depends upon securing a 
rapid, vigorous and unchecked growth during the 
early part of the season. Sow in hot beds from 6 to 
8 weeks before they can be set out of doors, which 
is when danger from frost is past. 
Transplant three to six feet apart in rows four to 
six feet apart, according to variety—three feet for 
those varieties of upright growth, as the Dwarf 
Champion, and six feet is not too far apart for vining 
varieties which will soon cover the ground solidly. 
The soil should be plowed and pulverized to a depth 
of 10 or 12 inches, the deeper the better, in order that 
the roots may keep in the cool earth, for as soon as 
the roots are heated by the hot, dry soil near the 
surface, the plant quickly sickens and dies, and the 
grower can see no cause for it. We recommend the 
Earlianna for an early market tomato. One ounce of 
seed should produce 2,000 plants. 
BREAK O’ DAY — A large new scarlet tomato, 
producing fruits of perfect shape. It ripens early, 
has firm flesh, of excellent quality. (Pkt. 10c); (oz. 
80c); (Vi lb. $2.65); (1 lb. $8.00); postpaid. 
MARGLOBE —No other tomato in recent years has 
created the sensation Marglobe has. It is the result 
of the work of government experts in breeding a 
tomato resistant to wilt and has become in two or 
three years the leading variety among canners, 
shippers and market gardeners. The vine is vigor¬ 
ous, resistant to disease, fruit a large, slightly flat¬ 
tened globe, of fine bright color, very firm and meaty 
and of the very best quality. You can make no mis¬ 
take in planting your main crop of Marglobe. (Pkt. 
10c); (oz. 60c); (Vi lb. $2.00); (1 lb. $6.00. 
Morse’s Special Early, No. 498 
A SOLID RED TOMATO 
Without a question this is the best extra early 
tomato ever offered for home garden, market garden 
or shipping. Unlike most early strains the foilage 
grows well to the center of the plants, protecting the 
fruit from sunburn. The fruit is deep red, very
