Fennel 
FLORENCE FENNEL (Finocchio also called Sweet Anise) 
_Florence Fennel is quite distinct from the common 
sweet fennel used for flavoring. This variety produces a 
bulb at the surface of 
the ground which 
makes an excellent 
vegetable with a pe¬ 
culiar but pleasing 
flavor. It is grown by 
sowing the seed in 
rows 20 inches to 2 
feet apart and thin¬ 
ning or transplanting 
so the plants stand 8 
to 10 inches apart in 
the rows. Sow the 
seed in rich soil In 
May or June, and 
again a month later for 
fall use. When the 
plants are half grown 
drag up earth to them 
so as to blanch the 
bulbs. Postpaid: Pkt.,

Garden Huckleberry 
This is not a true Huckleberry, but it belongs to the 
Solanums to which also belong the tomato, pepper and 
egg plant. The fruit is deep purple, nearly black, round 
and only a little smaller than a Concord grape. They are 
not good to eat raw but when cooked with a little sugar 
and lemon or other flavoring it is considered by many 
people very good for making pies and preserves. The 
plants grow three feet high and are covered on every 
branch with clusters of fruit, so a very few plants wiil 
produce an immense quantity of berries. The fruit ripens 
in September but it is considered of finer quality when 
left on the plants until the leaves are killed by frost. They 
will remain on the plant two months after they are ripe.
