QUALITY SEEDS AND BULBS—“THEY COME UP SMILING” 
PEPPER 
Sow in hotbeds in March and, when the soil 
has become warm, set in rows 2 feet apart and 
18 inches in the rows. Hoe frequently. The plants 
may also be forwarded in small pots. The soil 
should be light, warm, and rich, but not dry. 
One ounce will produce 1,500 to 2,000 plants. In 
case of frost give cover—or if the vines bend and 
the fruit is likely to be soiled, give support.

RAMPION 
Sow in the open ground early in May, broad¬ 
cast or in drills 10 inches apart. As the seed is 
very fine, it merely requires to be pressed firmly 
into the soil. Thin out the seedlings if they 
come up too thickly, and water frequently during 
hot weather. The roots may be gathered for use 
from October on throughout the winter. 
11550. Rampion. The roots and leaves are excellent as 
salad. Pkt. 10c., oz. 40c., lb. $4.00. 
ROQUETTE 
Sow early in spring, and thin out to 8 to 10 
inches. If kept well scuffled and watered the tart 
flavor of the leaves is greatly diminished. This 
flavor is not pronounced in the small leaves, 
which are used for salad. The flowers, appearing 
from May to June, have very much the odor of 
orange-blossoms.

Victoria Rhubarb 
Chinese Giant Pepper 
SORREL 
Sow in spring in drills 18 inches apart, in a 
rich soil, and keep the flower-stems cut off as they 
appear. It remains in the ground year after year, 
and needs to be taken up and divided only once 
in four or five years. To be cut and cooked pre¬ 
cisely like spinach, or it is excellent cooked with 
it, one-third sorrel to two-thirds spinach. It is 
also used for soups. Very nice to be eaten after 
it has become cool. Inasmuch as the hot sun 
tends to increase its acidity, a northern exposure 
is preferable.

RHUBARB 
Sow seed in a coldframe, in a fine, rich, sandy 
loam, about the first of March, in drills 4 inches 
apart. Keep the frames covered during the nights 
and cold days, so that the soil will not freeze, 
and in six to eight weeks the plants will be large 
enough to set in the open ground. Transplant 
to a rich and deep soil, and set in rows 12 inches 
apart and 12 inches in the row. The following 
spring transplant again to a permanent location, 
setting 4 to 5 feet apart. In good soil, Rhubarb 
is ready to use the second year from seed. When 
roots are set out, plant them 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way, and keep weeds down. If roots are 
used, a crop may be had after one season, which 
is much better than sowing seed where only a 
few plants for family use are needed. In the 
fall, the bed should have a thick dressing of 
coarse manure, to be spaded under in spring. 
Three- or four-year-old roots may be taken up 
in the fall and forced in the cellar for winter use.
