Chicory 
An ounce of seed will produce 3,000 roots. 
Chicory is used for two purposes. The large-rooted 
variety is used as a substitute for coffee, the root being 
dried and ground, while the variety called “Witloof” is 
used for salad. Both are easily raised from seed.

WITLOOF OR “FRENCH ENDIVE”— Seed sown in May or 
June produces roots which, when taken up and placed 
in sand in a warm, dark place, throw out tender 
white sprouts which are used as salad. These sprouts 
are often called “French Endive.” Postpaid: Pkt., 5c;

CULTURE—Sow the seed thickly in drills in rich 
ground, transplanting when about 4 inches high; or sow 
in drills where the plants are to remain and when well 
started thin to 2 or 3 feet apart in the rows. 
GEORGIA, SOUTHERN OR CREOLE— This is the white or 
green-stemmed variety, growing 2 or 3 feet high and 
forming a large, loose, open head or cluster of leaves 
with a rather long stem. A frost, if not too severe, 
will improve rather than injure the quality of the 
leaves. Postpaid: Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 54 lb., 25c; / 2

Corn (Sweet or 
Sugar) 
(Mais, Maiz, Mais) 
CULTURE—Days indicated 
means average time required 
to produce roasting ears. All 
sweet corn seed is Colorado 
Grown under our personal 
supervision. 
One pound will plant 100 
hills; 10 pounds an acre. 
Sweet Corn should not be 
planted until the ground is 
warm and danger from frost 
is past. Corn thrives best on 
warm, rich soil, and suc¬ 
ceeds only when given fre¬ 
quent but shallow cultiva¬ 
tion. For a continuous sup¬ 
ply, begin planting as early 
as the season will permit, 
and plant every ten days or 
two weeks until July. 
GOLDEN GEM OR NUGGET— 
71 days. Developed by 
Prof. A. F. Yeager and in¬ 
troduced by the N. Dak. 
Agricultural Experiment 
Station. The earliest yellow 
variety; very dwarf, *>ut 
with rather small ear; very 
valuable to the market 
gardener in reaching the

Cress 
(Agretto, Mastuerzo, Garten-Kresse) 
WATER CRESS— This plant is now used extensively for 
garnishing and for salads. It can easily be grown on 
the banks of any small stream, or on land that can be 
flooded with running water. It succeeds best on 
streams fed by springs that do not dry up in the sum¬ 
mer. The seed should be scattered on the muddy 
banks in the spring or summer. Water Cress can also 
be grown in greenhouses for winter use and is a prof¬ 
itable crop.
