Rhubarb 
Rhubarb 
Mostly propagated by division of the roots. Set out the 
plants early in spring, although it is sometimes done in autumn. 
Make furrows of good depth, 3 to 4 feet apart, according to 
variety planted; across these furrows, at right angles, make 
others the same distance apart; at each intersection put three 
or four shovelfuls of good manure, and upon this set the plants. 
Victoria. 150 days. In general use for the market; immense 
crops. 
Salsify 
When cooked, the roots have something of the flavor and 
odor of oysters. They may be boiled, used in soups, or grated 
and fried as fritters. Culture same as for parsnips and carrots. 
Roots are perfectly hardy, and may be left in the ground all 
winter, but should be dug early in spring, as the quality 
deteriorates rapidly with the second growth. A quantity of 
roots for winter use may be stored in a pit or in sand or damp 
earth in a cellar.

Mammoth Sandwich Island. 140 days. A great improve¬ 
ment on the French sort generally cultivated. The roots 
are twice as large, smooth, tender, and well-flavored, re¬ 
sembling fair-sized parsnips. 
Spinach 
Long-standing Bloomsdale Spinach 
One of the most important crops grown for greens, and 
may be had in good condition from very early in spring until 
cold weather. For early use, sow very early in spring, 
and for succession at intervals. The main crop, for spring and 
winter use, should be sown in September and the plants 
covered for winter. 
Sow y 2 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 10 pounds, an acre 
Giant Nobel. 45 days. A new giant, thick-leaved type with

Giant Thick-leaved. 60 days. A large, upright-growing, 
early variety with very thick, large, slightly crumpled leaves 
of medium green color. Fine for fall and spring sowing. A 
rapid grower. 
Long-standing Bloomsdale. 43 days. A little later than 
Reselected Bloomsdale, but holds two weeks longer before 
throwing seed-stalks. Our stock of seed is the best obtainable.
