Mustard Spinach 
One ounce of seed to 73 feet of row. 
Mustard Spinach, or Tendergreen is a new vegetable of 
great merit, which is ready for the table in 3 to 4 weeks 
after seed is planted. It is a very mild Mustard with a 
distinct Spinach flavor. .'It is rapidly taking the place ^of 
Spinach, as it remains tender even in dry, hot weather. 
It is a wonderful producer and is becoming very popular 
with market growers and home gardeners. It is an all 
season plant, resistant to insects and blight. The leaves 
which are twice the size of Swiss Chard, are mostly used 
when young. It is not a “cut and come again" crop, but 
by repeated plantings every two weeks an abundant 
supply of delicious greens is available throughout the en¬ 
tire summer, as well as spring and fall. It is extremely 
resistant to cold weather so early and late plantings are 
possible. The leaves are cooked and prepared for the 
table the same as Spinach. Don’t fail to give Mustard 
Spinach a trial this season. You will be pleased with it.

CHOICE ONION SEED 
Onions usuany net tne grower more money per acre than any other vegetable crop. The difference in price, if any, between 
a good strain of carefully grown seed and a poor strain, carelessly grown, is so small that you can only afford to plant the 
very best. There are many inferior strains of Onion seed being offered to the public at low prices which will produce Onions 
of all sorts and sizes instead of the uniform, marketable crop obtained by planting a carefully selected strain of seed. Each 
year a large and steadily increasing number of market gardeners buy our Onion seed because they realize that none is superior. 
Prizetaker Onion 
Prizetaker Onion 
Among large Onions this one is exceptional for size and beauty; 
It is of the same type as the large Spanish onions, imported and sold 
for high prices. American grown seed has become thoroughly accli¬ 
mated through many years of very careful, painstaking culture. Prize- 
taker is a yellow globe that matures to great size under right condi¬ 
tions ; it requires a long season and should be started early in hotbed. 
When properly ripened it is a good keeper. No. 4119. Pkt. 19c;

Japanese or Ebenezer 
There has been a tremendous demand for this flat yellow skinned 
Onion the past few years, especialy for the growing of Onion Sets. 
Japanese Onion Sets produce a much largr tonnage of marketable 
Onions than does the old Strassburg or Danvers, which it resembles 
very much. Moreover, a smaller per cent of the sets run to seed with 
consequent damage to the large Onions produced. As a large Onion 
Ebenezer is a fine keeper, mild and well flavored.
