FALL AND WINTER VARIETIES 
Culture Winter radish seed is generally sown early in August in rows about 20 inches apart, covering half inch deep. 
When well up, thin to three inches apart in the row. For winter use, store the roots in a cool cellar, packing them 
in damp sand. 
ROUND BLACK SPANISH Our stock of this variety is one of which we are proud. Most stocks on the 
market are of inferior quality. We grow this seed ourselves and thus far have had to make no apologies 
for it. The radish is top-shaped, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The skin is a rich black color, the flesh a very 
clear white. The flavor is excellent and the radish keeps well. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 
HALF LONG BLACK The roots are grayish black in color, 4 to 5 inches long, tapering from a shoulder 2 to 3 inches in 
diameter. You will not be disapointed in our stock. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00.

at the shoulder, and tapering to the tip. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb-, 35c; lb., $1.25. 
CHINA ROSE The roots are cylindrical, usually larger at the bottom than at the top, averaging 4 to 5 inches long. 
The skin is smooth and a deep rose color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 
SORREL 
Culture A hardy perennial, which may bear 
for several years. Sow in spring or sum¬ 
mer in drills. Excellent in salads, or 
cooked like spinach. The flavor of the 
green leaf is slightly sour, hence often 
called Sour Grass. An ounce will sow 150 
feet; 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
NARROW LEAF (Silver Leaf) Grown on 
our own Milford farms, this is a 
very special stock of sorrel. It is 
superior in many ways to the im¬ 
ported seed, and we are seldom able 
to grow enough to meet the demand. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., $1.00; lb., $3 
BROAD LEAF The imported seed, not equal 
to Milford-grown stock, but very nice. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; )4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
Culture One of the most desirable winter vegetables, and one which 
deserves to be more used. Before sowing, the soil must be stirred to 
considerable depth. Sow early and quite deep. Frost does not hurt the 
roots, but a quantity should be stored for winter in a pit or cool cellar 
before the ground freezes. An ounce will sow 75 feet; 8 to 10 pounds 
per acre. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND This variety is less liable to 
branch than most varieties, but coarse or fresh manure should 
not be used if smooth roots are wanted. We grow this seed 
ourselves for critical customers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Y\ lb., 40c; 
lb., $1.50.
