Fennel 
FLORENCE FENNEL (Finocchio also called Sweet

ground which makes 
an excellent vege¬ 
table with a peculiar 
but pleasing flavor. 
It is grown by sow¬ 
ing the seed in rows 
20 inches to 2 feet 
apart and thinning 
or transplanting so 
the plants stand 8 to 
10 inches apart in 
the rows. Sow the 
seed in rich soil in 
May or June, and 
again a month later 
for fall use. When 
the plants are half 
grown drag up earth 
to them so as to 
blanch the bulbs.

Garden Huckleberry 
This is not a true Huckleberry, but it belongs to the 
Solanums to which also belong tomato, pepper and egg 
plant. The fruit is deep purple, nearly black, round and 
only a little smaller than a Concord grape. They are not 
good to eat raw but when cooked with a little sugar and 
lemon or other flavoring it is considered by many people 
very good for making pies and preserves. The plants 
grow three feet high and are covered on every branch with 
clusters of fruit, so a very few plants will produce an 
immense quantity of berries. The fruit ripens in September 
but it is considered of finer quality when left on the plants 
until the leaves are killed by frost. They will remain on 
the plant two months after they are ripe. Postpaid: Pkt., 
10c; oz., 75c.
