CHIVES—Schnittlauch 
Chives are perfectly hardy perennial plants of the 
onion type, and are grown exclusively for their small 
leaves, which are produced freely very early in the 
Spring, for giving a mild onion flavor to various 
dishes. They are used especially in flavoring the small 
German sausages. When planted in small clumps in 
any common garden soil, they will grow rapidly and 
in time increase so as to render division necessary. 
The tops appear early in the Spring, and can be shorn 
off close to the ground as needed. If not allowed to 
flower, they will produce much longer.

CORN SALAD (Feldsalat) 
Vetticost, or Lamb’s Lettuce— A delicious salad. The 
best variety cultivated. The proper time for sowing 
is in the Fall, but sown early in Spring, in rows nine 
to twelve inches apart, it is fit for use in from six to 
eight weeks. Cover with hay or straw to protect 
through the Winter. One ounce of seed to 15 square 
feet. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c, postpaid 
DANDELION 
We have discontinued the sale of the Dandelion as 
an herb because it is an obnoxious weed and should 
be destroyed wherever it appears. If it is neglected 
it will soon spread over your lawn, crowding out all 
the grass. 
EGG PLANT 
Every garden should have a few Egg Plant plants. 
These are easily grown and bear a good crop with 
little attention. Egg Plants, sliced and fried, are de¬ 
licious and would be much more popular if better 
known. 
Black Beauty—Very early, the fruit being ready for 
market two weeks before any other variety. Color very 
fine, being a purplish black. A good variety for a main 
crop for market. Per pkt. 10c; Vfe oz. 40c; per oz. 70c; 
2 ozs. $1.15; lb. $2.00; per lb. $7.00. 
ENDIVE 
Endive is one of the best and most wholesome salads 
for fall and winter use. Sow in shallow drills in April 
for early use or for late use in June or July. When 2 
or 3 inches high, transplant into good ground or thin 
out to 1 foot apart. When nearly full grown, and before 
they are fit for the table, they must be bleached. This 
is done by gathering the leaves together and tying with 
yarn or bass to exclude the light and air from the inner 
leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they will 
rot. 
Green Curled—Leaves finely cut or lacinated. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.25 
White Curled—Does not need blanching, the midribs 
being naturally of a pale golden-yellow, and the finely 
cut and curled leaves almost white. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.50 
Batavian—Large heads of broad, thick leaves, which 
can be blanched as a salad or make excellent cooked 
greens. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.50
