Salsify - Vegetable Oyster 
One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill. 
Salsify succeeds best in a light, well enriched, mellow 
soil. Seed a yellowish gray pod, about one-half inch 
long, resembling a banana in shape. Sow seed in early 
spring, one inch deep, in rows 12 inches apart, thinning 
out the young plants to 6 inches apart. The roots will 
mature by October, when they should be stored for 
winter use like Carrots. Roots may also be left in the 
ground until spring. Makes a very delicious vegetable 
dish when stewed and served with cream dressing. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. A tender delicious variety 
that is far superior to other sorts. The roots are 
large, thicker, and grayer, and the leaves are larger 
and greener. Very mild and delicately flavored. This 
is the variety that is so largely planted by market 
gardeners, and as it becomes better known, will find 
a place in every garden. 
We carry a complete line of Garden and Flower 
Seeds and if you do not find what you are looking

Long Radishes 
Chartier. Twice the size of Long Scarlet, but resem¬ 
bles it somewhat. The roots are long, of attractive 
crimson color, tipped with white. The flesh is white, 
crisp and well flavored. 
Icicle. Grows more popular every year. It can be used 
as a summer Radish or forced in frames. The roots 
are 4 to 5 inches long and /i to 24 inch in diameter. 
They mature earlier than any of the other white Rad¬ 
ishes, and are very attractive, being pure white, al¬ 
most transparent, and very tender. 
Long Scarlet Short Top. Matures 25 days after plant¬ 
ing. Long, slender, red Radishes with crisp flesh. 
Good forcer. 
Long White Vienna (Lady Finger). A good sort to 
follow the Icicle, for if planted at the same time as 
that variety, will mature when the Icicle crop is ex¬ 
hausted. Very crisp and tender. 
White Strasburg. The smooth, pure white roots meas¬ 
ure 4 to 5 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. 
The flesh is white, mild and sweet. 
Winter Radishes 
California Mammoth White. Fine winter variety. It 
grows to a large size, with firm white flesh of good 
flavor. An excellent keeper. 
China Rose. Sown in the fall, the seed will produce 
5-inch roots of deep rose color which will keep well 
into the winter. The pure white flesh is very firm, 
compact, and pleasingly pungent. 
Long Black Spanish. A good winter variety. Plant in 
the fall. The skin is almost black, but the flesh is 
pure white and very sweet. 
Celestial. This excellent variety is sold also as Chinese 
White Winter. The roots are long, cylindrical, with 
beautiful white skin and flesh, the whitest and usually 
the least pungent of the winter varieties. When 
fully mature the roots are 6 to 9 inches long by 
about 21/ 2 to V /2 inches in diameter. The flesh is 
solid and crisp. 
Sage 
A perennial herb much 
used in cooking. It prefers 
an open, sunny situation and 
well drained mellow loam. 
Sow seed in the seedbed out¬ 
doors as soon as the ground 
becomes dry enough, about 
one-half inch deep. When 
plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, 
transplant in rows 10 inches 
apart, 15 inches apart in the 
row. 
Broad-Leaved. This is the 
variety that is most largely 
grown. It produces an 
abundance of its broad 
green leaves, which are 
used for seasoning and 
medicinal purposes when 
dried.

den will cut your 
grocery bill in half.
