1935 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
Winter RADISHES 
SPINACH 
This is a much neglected vegetable and for the 
same reason that you neglect the Turnip and 
Rutabagas. When you are making your order 
for vegetables you pass the Winter Radish as 
you will not be ready for it before June or July. 
It costs only a few cents and yields abundant re¬ 
turns. Take them up in the fall and store in your 
house, or cellar, same as other vegetables, and you 
will have fresh crisp radishes nearly all winter. 
Chinese Rose, or Scarlet China — Pkt., 5c: 
oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Long Black Spanish Winter—Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Mammoth 
Japanese Winter Radishes 
These monstrous Japanese winter radishes 
were considered a novelty some time ago, but 
they are becoming just as staple a winter veg¬ 
etable as potatoes, carrots or beets. These rad¬ 
ishes produce wonderful specimens, some of them 
will measure as much as four or five feet long, 
and retain the size as well from top to bottom. 
Some of the other varieties are globe shaped and 
grow as large as the largest turnip. We have 
grown these in the trial ground for regular win¬ 
ter use for a number of years, and we have never 
found any of them but what were crisp and 
juicy. Tjiey will keep perfectly until spring.

PLANT 
Sow early in 
the springindrills 
14 inches apart. 
Cultivate same as 
Carrots or Pars¬ 
nips. Gather 
what may be 
wanted for the 
winter and let the 
balance stand in 
the ground for 
the next spring's 
use.

and large variety.

SUN¬ 
FLOWER 
Mammoth Sandwich 
Island Salsify 
Mammoth 
Russian—The 
plant produces 
very large heads 
which measure 12 
to 20 inches in 
diameter, and contain an immense quantity of 
large striped seeds, which are highly valued as 
an excellent and cheap food for fowls. They eat 
it greedily, thrive well, and lay the greater num¬ 
ber of eggs. 
Increased importance of the growing of sun¬ 
flower seed is foreshadowed in the increased 
growth of the plant for forage purposes. Sun¬ 
flowers as a silage crop are said to have been 
found to be of higher food value than corn. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 
lbs., $1.30; 25 lbs., $2.75: 50 lbs., $4.90; 100 
lbs., $8.85. 
To stay young and healthy, eat plenty of greens. Spinach, lettuce, parsley and beet greens contain 
minerals and vitamins your body needs. They are found in no other food. 
This is one of the most important of our market garden crops, and one that requires very little 
care. For summer use sow at intervals of two or three weeks from April to August, and for early 
spring crop sow in September, coveringitin exposed places with straw to protect it from severe frost. 
Long Standing Bloomsdale 
The leaves are thick, fleshy and crumply 
equal to the Bloomsdale Curled Savoy-Leaved, 
and standing at least two weeks longer than 
any other variety without running to seed. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; !4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c. 
New Zealand 
The stems and leaves are soft, thick, fleshy 
and crystalline in apearance When started 
early in the spring, the plants will resist heat 
and make strong growth during the summer. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; !4 lb., 25c; y 2 lb., 40c; 
1 lb., 70c. 
Mustard Spinach 
or Tendergreen 
The new vegetable is all its name implies, a 
very mild Mustard with a creamy Spinach fla¬ 
vor. In 1930, in the neighborhood of New York 
City, plantings were made every two weeks 
throughout the entire summer, including the 
dry hot months of July and August. Not a single 
planting failed; a continuous supply of fine 
greens was available. Many who tasted it pro¬ 
claimed it better than Spinach. 
King 
Mustard Spinach may be harvested when 
the plants are four to five inches high; packed 
in handy retail bundles, and with a proper intro¬ 
duction will sell well in any market. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; !4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c. 
of Denmark 
This new spinach will surely replace all other 
varieties for spring planting. Produces but little 
seed, slow to commence seeding, continues to grow 
and hold its fine quality long after other varieties 
have seeded and become useless. It withstands the 
hot sun and extreme dry weather better thanany 
other variety. A fine strain for canning. Forms 
low, large, compact tuf ts, leaves broad and round 
slightly crumpled. A glossy, dark green color, 
ready to use earlier than any other spinach. 
Matures in 45 days. Pkt., 6c; oz., 12c; J4 lb., 
25c; Vi. lb., 40c; 1 lb., 70c. 
RHUBARB OR PIEPLANT 
ROSELLE or 
Currant Jelly Plant 
How many farmers and city people are sup¬ 
plied with this delicious fruit ? It is easily 
grown and produces abundantly. It comes the 
first of anything in the spring, just when you 
want it. It will grow any old place and will 
thrive there for years, but the better place, care 
and cultivation given it the better returns. It is 
as easily grown from seed as from the roots; and 
you get a nice cutting the second season. Try at 
least a package of these seeds. Early, large and 
tender. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; !4 lb., 45c; 1 lb., 
$1.40. 
An Annual Plant, Which Uses Only One-Half 
the Amount of Sugar. 
Roselle makes a bright red jelly, that both 
looks and tastes like currant and would take an 
expert to tell the difference. 
Roselle Seed should be sown in April in the 
field where the plants are to remain in rows six 
feet apart and thinned to two feet in the row. 
The plants grow rapidly and thrive anywhere in 
the United States. Cooking directions on every 
package. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 25c; oz., 45c; y 4 lb.,
