VEGETABLE SEEDS SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 
SALSIFY 
(VEGETABLE OYSTER) 
The soil should be rich and well worked to a depth of at 
least 18 inches. Sow in drills 15 inches apart, covering the 
seeds with fine soil y 2 inch in depth. When the plants are 
strong enough, thin them out to about 3 inches apart. The 
seed may be sown from February to September and will 
mature in 150 days. One ounce will sow 50 feet of row. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—An entirely distinct 
variety of this vegetable. It is considered very nutri¬ 
tious and wholesome when properly cooked, with a 
flavor like that of oysters. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 25c.; lb., 
75c.; lb., $2.25. 
SORREL 
The large leaves, when cooked like Spinach, make a very 
palatable vegetable. In California it grows luxuriantly, 
spreads rapidly from the root, and becomes an obnoxious 
weed unless given attention. A confined location in the 
garden is therefore recommended. 
LARGE LEAVED FRENCH—The variety having the 
largest leaves and therefore the most desirable. Pkt., 
5c.; oz., 20c.; 14 lb., 60c. 
SQUASH 
? Squash should be planted in a warm, rich soil, after the 
weather has become settled and warm, about the beginning 
of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, in the same 
manner as Cucumbers or Melons—the bush varieties 3 or 4 
feet apart each way, and the running kinds from 6 to 8 
feet. 8 to 10 seeds should be sown, 1 to 2 inches deep, in 
each hill, thinning out after they have attained their rough 
leaves and danger from bugs is over, leaving 3 or 4 of the 
strongest plants to a hill. The soil should be moist before 
planting so that no watering is required until the seeds have 
sprouted, otherwise they may fail to germinate. An occa¬ 
sional feeding of liquid manure will repay in size of fruits 
One ounce of the summer varieties will plant about 25 hills 
and one ounce of the winter varieties about 15 hills. Sum¬ 
mer sorts mature in 65 days and the winter sorts in 150 
days.
