Mammoth Golden Cushaw Pumpkin 
PUMPKIN 
The seed should be sown as soon as the ground 
gets warm, usually during the latter part of May in 
this section. Pumpkins are sometimes grown in 
corn, but for table use it is customary to plant them 
in hills 6 to 8 feet apart, dropping from four to 
eight seeds in each hill. It is a good plan to pinch 
back the vines after they get 4 to 5 feet long. If 
you want extra-large specimen fruits, dig plenty of 
manure into the hill before planting and permit only 
one or two fruits to mature on each plant. 
One ounce of seed will plant about 25 hills; 4 to 5 
pounds will plant an acre

Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify 
RHUBARB 
Rhubarb gives best crops on deep, light soil which has been liberally enriched with 
manure. It is cheapest to start with seed but only a percentage of the plants grown from 
seed will be worth saving. Sow early in the spring, in drills an inch deep and a foot apart, 
and thin the plants to stand about 5 inches apart. The following spring, reset the best 
plants 3 to 4 feet apart each way. If you start with roots, plant them with the crown about 
1 inch below the surface. Cultivate Rhubarb frequently and keep the weeds out. Give 
water, if needed, while the plants are producing and dress with manure every year after 
the cutting season is over. The first pulling may be made the second season after planting 
and the plant will continue to bear for many years. 
VICTORIA. This is the best all-round variety. Productive and comes fairly true from 
seed. Seed, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., Xlb. 60 C £s., lb. $2. Roots, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per

SALSIFY 
Often called “Vegetable Oyster” or “Oyster Plant” on account of its flavor. Salsify 
is easy to grow on any good garden soil. Spade to a depth of a foot or more and make the 
soil as fine as possible. Sow the seed early, as the plants require a long season to attain 
full size; cover about an inch deep, in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, and thin the plants to 
3 inches apart in the rows. Roots may be left in the ground all winter and dug as needed. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 50 feet of drill; 10 pounds will sow an acre 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. The best variety. Roots often 10 to 12 inches 
long, tender, and of delicious flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., K^lb. 75 cts., lb. $ 2.50.
