KNOX’S DEPENDABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Stockton and Modesto 
(Continued from Page 11) 
WITLOOF OR FRENCH ENDIVE—One of the best 
and most attractive of salad vegetables; grown largely by 
market gardeners and shippers. The carefully trimmed 
roots when buried upright in damp sand and given the 
proper conditions each produce a handsome, compact 
cluster 4 to 5 in. long of blanched leaves which are tender 
and have a rich, mildly acrid flavor. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
% lb., 75c; lb., §2.50. 
CHIVES 
ALLIUM SCHOENOPRASUM—Small perennial of the. 
onion family; readily propagated from seeds; leaves used 
in salads and for flavoring soups and stews; flowering 
plant is decorative. Pkt., 5c; oz., §1.00; *4 lb., $3.00; lb., 
$ 10 . 00 . 
COLLARDS 
GEORGIA, SOUTHERN OR CREOLE — Non-heading 
form of the cabbage family’ very generally grown for 
greens in home and market gardens in the South. Plant 
2 to 3 feet tall, erect, spreading, and with numerous large 
leaves; forms at the top a loose cluster or head of tender 
leaves. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; lb., 80c. 
CHERVIL 
CURDED—Similar to parsley, but of more delicate 
texture. Leaves bright, rich green; finely divided and 
curled; pungent, aromatic; used for garnishing and flavor¬ 
ing. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
SWISS CHARD 
Swiss chard is one of the easiest vegetables to grow. 
Planted in the springtime it will grow one whole year be¬ 
fore running to seed, and produce an abundance of green 
leaves the whole year. Tne broad, white stalks can be 
cooked like asparagus and the green leaves used the same 
as spinach. In picking always pick the largest outside 
leaves and the plant will continue to produce leaves from 
the center. It is also one of the best greens to plant for 
poultry, as it will produce more greens with less care and 
through a longer season than anything else. 
WHITE—Grown for the leaves 
only, and cooked like spinach. The 
midrib is prepared like asparagus. 
It is hardy and productive, with 
broad green leaves and large 
white midribs or chards of excel¬ 
lent quality; sown at different 
seasons of "the year, giving suc¬ 
cessive greens. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
% lb.. 25c; lb., 75c. 
LUCULLUS—A peculiarly deli¬ 
cious variety having green leaves 
which are remarkably crimped 
and curled; like savoy-leaved cab¬ 
bage. The chards are white and 
broad but not so broad as the 
common variety, although equally fine in flavor. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; lb., 75c. 
SWEET CORN 
For new varieties 
see Page 10 
One of the gar¬ 
den’s sweetest vege¬ 
tables. Plant froth 
February 15th to Au¬ 
gust 1st, in rows 3 
feet apart, drop 6 or 7 
kernels in hills every 
18 inches in the row 
and thin out to two 
of the healthiest 
plants in each hill 
when about 5 inches 
high. Break off all 
side shoots except the 
two top ones as they 
will produce the larg¬ 
est and best ears. 
Corn is at its very 
best when picked and 
eaten within an hour, 
but it is extremely 
important that it be 
picked just at the 
right time, especially 
when not too old. 
Frequent planting of 
several varieties in 
succession will keep 
a good supply avail¬ 
able all summer.

CELERY 
Stowell’s Evergreen 
developed by selection 
by 
Celery seed should be sown indoors from February 
20th to April 20th, or outdoors in April/Cover lightly, keep 
the beds moist, almost to wetness, and the temperature 
should not exceed sixty degrees. Outdoors it is sometimes 
necessary to furnish partial shade with lattice work that 
admits about half the sunlight. Keep the small plants well 
watered and free from weeds. Transplant when four inches 
high, cutting off the tops as well as part of the roots. The 
soil must be rich and moist or else water should be avail¬ 
able for irrigation. Transplant the last of June or first of 
July, although it is sometimes possible to mature a crop 
set"out as late as the middle of August. In setting, dig 
trenches 5 inches deep, 2 feet apart. Plant 1 foot apart 
along both sides of trench. Water often and keep the 
weeds down by cultivation and hoeing. Blanching is done 
by heaping up with soil or with two wide boards placed on 
each side of the rows and held in place by stakes or wire 
hoops at the top. The latter method is necessary when 
blanching in hot weather for the early market. Be careful 
not to disturb the plants while wet, as this increases the 
tendency to rust.
