Miscellaneous 
HOLT’S MAMMOTH SAGE. 
HORSERADISH (Bohemian or Maliner- 
Kren) .—This is grown by planting the small sets or 
pieces from the side roots in deep, rich soil and cul¬ 
tivating in the same manner as with the ordinary 
variety of horseradish, but the plan's are so much 
stronger in growth that the roots grow to consider¬ 
ably larger size and greater weight. Undoubtedly 
this is the best variety to grow. 
SAGE (HOLT’S MAMMOTH). — This useful 
plant, which produces leaves of great sizes, should 
be in every garden. The plant is vigorous and a 
very strong grower. It is really the only variety of 
sage worth extensive cultivation and in every way 
desirable. Very hardy ; does well in all sections. 
RHUBARB (Pie Plant). —* Plant in dry, rich 
soil !o secure large, heavy stalks in rows four feet 
apart, with the plants three feet apart. Set the 
roots so that the crown will be about one inch below 
the surface. Top dress annually in the fall with 
good stable manure and fork under in the spring. 
Our quotations are for good, strong divisions.
