Fennel 
Dandelion 
Loewenzahn (Ger.) Dente di leone (It.) 
The improved cultivated dandelion is a valu¬ 
able plant for “greens” early in the spring. The 
seed is sown in the spring or summer and the 
leaves will be ready to eat the following spring. 
Large Thick-Leaved. The most desirable 
variety with large thick leaves of excellent 
quality. Far superior to the common dande¬ 
lion. The seed we offer is of the finest strain 
obtainable. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c; Vi Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00.

Dill (Ger.) Dill Aneto (It.)

superior to the common dill. It is so easily 
grown that every garden should have a short 
row of this valuable herb. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; Vi Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c. 
Fennel or Finocchio 
This is quite distinct from the common sweet 
fennel used for flavoring. This variety produces 
a large bulb at the surface of the ground which 
makes an excellent vegetable with a peculiar but 
pleasing flavor. It is very largely used in Italy 
and by Italians in this country. 
1t is grown by sowing the seed in rows 20 inches 
to 2 feet apart and thinning or transplanting so 
the plants stand 6 to 8 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. 
MAMMOTH. Round Bulb (New). This new 
strain produces extra large round firm bulbs, 
and for this reason is superior to other strains. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
Florence Fennel. The seed we offer is the true 
“ Florence” and is very fine.

Knoblauch (Ger.) Garlic Aglio (It.) 
Used for flavoring. The bulbs are divided into 
“cloves” or flakes and set out like onion sets 
about 4 inches apart in the row, and covered 2

the bulbs and dry in a shady place. Bulbs only.

Dwarf Curled Green Kale 
Kale or Borecole 
Blatterkohl (Ger.) Cavolo verdi (It.) 
Kale is used as “greens” during the winter. 
The young and tender shoots that come out on 
the stalks are delicate and delicious when cooked. 
They are better after a few frosts in the fall. 
With a little protection, or when the snow is deep, 
kale will stand the winter without injury. It is 
grown in the same way as cabbage but for winter 
use the seed may be sown as late as July. 
DWARF CURLED or Blue Scotch. This low 
growing, spreading variety is the kind most 
commonly grown. The leaves are large, finely 
curled, of a deep bluish-green color and of 
excellent quality. Often used for garnishing. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
Tall Green, Scotch Curled. The plant grows 
three feet tall and produces an abundance of 
leaves which are finely curled and of the finest 
quality, the whole length of the tall stem.

SIBERIAN. Also called “Sprouts.” A very 
hardy kale of dwarf growth with broad thick 
leaves curled on the edges. The color is light 
bluish-green. Our strain is uniform and true. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 1/4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
Kohl Rabi 
Knollkohl (Ger.) Cavolo rapa (It.) 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. 
Kohl Rabi produces a large bulb on the stem 
which is used as a vegetable and also for stock 
feeding. If used while young, the bulb makes a 
delicious vegetable. An excellent way to cook it is 
to cut the bulbs into small cubes and boil until 
tender. Serve with a butter or cream sauce. 
The seed should be sown in June or July in 
rows about 18 inches to 2 feet apart, and the 
plants thinned 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. 
Early White Vienna. The best variety for the 
table. When the bulbs are the size of an apple 
they are ready for use, and are of excellent 
quality, being tender and of delicate flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90. 
Early Purple Vienna. The same as White 
Vienna except in color which is light purple 
on the outside.

“Garden Huckleberry'* 
This is not a true Huckleberry, but belongs to 
the same family as tomatoes and peppers. The 
fruit is deep purple, nearly black, round and 
only a little smaller than a Concord grape. When 
cooked with sugar and lemon or other flavoring 
are considered very good for making pies. 
The plants grow three feet high and are cov¬ 
ered with clusters of fruit. The fruit ripens in 
September. Culture is the same as tomatoes. 
Seed: Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c. Plants: Doz. 35c 
transportation paid. Ready May 15th. 
Horse Radish 
Meer Rettig (Ger.) Rafano (It.) 
Horse Radish is easily grown from sets (small 
lengths of roots). These sets, if planted in the 
spring in good rich soil, will form large roots by 
fall. Sets should be planted with the small end 
down and the top 2 in. below the surface in rows 
3 ft. apart and 15 to 20 in. apart in the rows. 
New Bohemian Horse Radish. A variety con¬ 
sidered to be superior to the common kind. 
25c per Doz.; $1.50 per 100 transportation 
paid. Not paid:.$7.75 per 1000 (weight 40 lbs.). 
Leek 
Poree (Ger.) p or ro (It.) 
Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any 
bulb, but grows in a long stem, which is blanched 
by drawing earth around it. When blanched it 
makes an appetizing salad, or is eaten like green 
onions. Roiled they are more delicate in flavor 
than the mildest onions. Seed is sown in the 
spring and the leek is ready to use in the fall. If 
given a little protection with dirt it will last over 
winter and give a very welcome addition to the 
early spring menu. 
ELEPHANT (New). This new variety is a great 
improvement over the old kinds. The stalks are 
pearly white, large and thick. The white parts 
extend farther up the stalk than any kind we 
know. This variety is of excellent quality be¬ 
ing tender and mild. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; Vi Lb. $1.25; Lb. $4.15. 
Large American Flag. This is the most popu¬ 
lar variety; grows to a good size, is straight 
and uniform, and of fine quality.
