590 Mammoth Sandwich Island 
The Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutritious of vegetables, 
and should be more generally cultivated for use in winter, when the supply 
of really good vegetables is so limited. It has a grassy top and a long, 
white, tapering root, nearly resembling a small parsnip. It closely assimi¬ 
lates to the taste and flavor of the oyster, when properly cooked, and is a 
good substitute for it; very wholesome and nutritious. The roots are 
either boiled and mashed or made into fritters, in which form they are deli¬ 
cious. The roots are perfectly hardy, and may remain out all winter, but 
..should be dug early in the spring, as they deteriorate rapidly after growth 
commences. Store a quantity for winter use in a pit or cellar in damp 
earth or sand. This variety is large and strong growing with long, smooth, 
white, tapering roots, and is less liable to branch than the other sorts. It 
is invaluable for market gardeners’ use. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 
*4 lb., 55 cts.; Vz lb., 08 cts.; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.40, postpaid.

598 Long Standing 
Bloomsdale 
In appearance of plant this new 
strain is much like Savoy Leaved or 
Bloomsdale. It shows the erect habit 
of Savoy Leaved but the leaves are 
a little larger and thicker, more 
crumpled, more heavily savoyed, and 
curl downward a little more. The 
leaf stems are a little shorter, mak¬ 
ing tbe plant more compact. The 
color is an attractive medium dark 
green. The most important 
feature of this new strain 
is that it remains for a 
long time in condition for 
use* before bolting to seed. 
Its long standing quality 
makes it a valuable 
addition to the spinach 
list. Packet, 5 cts.; oz., 
10 cts.; *4 lb., 17 cts.;

cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.,
