BEST EARLY KINDS 
S. W. Co.’s Rubicore. Rubicore is a fine-flavored, new, early Carrot. It is a deep orange- 
— - - * ■ - - red, and the small heart or core is almost the same color, which it 
retains in cooking, and it is as tender and sweet as the root itself. Rubicore is thus as “coreless” as a 
Carrot can be. The roots are s to 6 inches long, 2 to 2 K inches at the shoulder, narrowing gradually 
to a blunt end. They are refined in appearance, smooth and free from eyes, and they all match up very 
well—uniform in size, shape, and color. The tops are medium small, but large enough and strong enough 
to bunch easily. It will be found an ideal market-gardener’s type, as well as an excellent one for the 
home-garden on account of its superior qualities. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts., V 4 lh. $1.25, lb. $3.50.

TUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS 
Culture. —To produce the finest crop, the land should be thoroughly manured the previous season; 
forked roots will result if the seed is sown in freshly manured soil. Sow the early sorts in March and 
April, in drills i inch deep and 14 inches apart; thin out to 4 inches. For main crop sow in Mayor 
beginning of June. Care should be taken, at all times, to see that soil is firm over the seeds, either by 
using the feet, roller, or garden drill.

There is a wealth of satisfaction in being able 
_to go to your root-cellar or “pit” in the garden 
during the winter months and dig up vegetables that sell on the market at 10 to 25 cents 
for a bunch of five. Their liberal use is most essential to our physical welfare. And they 
are so easy to grow that they may play quite a part in reducing the cost of living.
