ACORN BRAND GARDEN SEEDS 
SALSIFY 
Sow as early as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 
inches apart, and 1 inch deep. After plants are up 3 inches, 
thin to 6 inches apart. Cultivate about the same as for 
parsnips, being certain to keep the weeds down. The roots 
may be used from the rows as wanted and will carry 
through the winter if left standing. Avoid the use of fresh 
manure, as it will cause the roots to be irregular and 
branched. Also called vegetable oysters. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND— Large and strong 
with long, smooth, white, tapering roots less likely to 
branch than those of other sorts. 
Salsify—oz., 25 c; y 4 lb., 75^ 
TOMATO 
Sow seed in a box or hotbed early, and transplant 
when the seedlings are about an inch tall. As soon as 
the weather moderates, the plants should be gradually 
hardened off to the temperature outside. This can be done 
in a warm sheltered place where they can be protected at 
night and in case of early frost. As soon as danger of 
frost is over, set in the open ground 3 to 5 feet apart each 
way and cultivate thoroughly.

TURNIPS 
For summer use sow early in spring in light, rich or 
new soil, in rows IV 2 to 2 feet apart, and cover V 2 inch 
deep. Thin early and keep free from weeds. Any over¬ 
crowding will result in rough and poorly flavored roots. It 
is important to get the spring and summer crop started 
very early so that the turnips may have time to grow to 
sufficient size before hot weather causes them to become 
tough and bitter. 
Sow for fall from the middle of July to the first of 
September and in the manner given for spring sowing.
