HENDEKSON’S 
Rocket Radishes 
A dish composed of these three Rockets, presents a most attractive 
appearance when prepared for the table, and we advise everyone to 
grow some of each. In addition to their bright appearance, they are 
among the earliest varieties grown, and they mature at exactly the 
same time. For these reasons, they are used very extensively for forcing, 
when they may be had in 21 days from sowing. They do equally well 
outdoors, but in common with all Radishes, must be grown under 
conditions that induce rapid growth, for only then will they acquire 
proper flavor and crispness. They must be pulled just as soon as ready, 
tor, like all quick growing Radishes, they soon become pithy. 
WHITE-TIPPED ROCKET RADISH. This is the ideal first early 
Radish. The color is deep rose, tipped white at the base. The 
flavor is deliciously mild. ( See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c.

WHITE ROCKET RADISH. A trifle larger than Red Rocket. It

C AI QIFV OR OYSTER 
O/ALDIl I plant 
Salsify is one of the best of our root vegetables, and is rapidly 
increasing in popularity. It is grown in the same way as the 
Parsnip, and if grown in well prepared soil, will produce large, 
smooth roots. Failing this, they are liable to fork. 
Cooked in any form, Salsify is wholesome, appetizing and nu¬ 
tritious. Its peculiar oyster-like flavor is most apparent when 
sliced and fried, and may also be served and eaten as Asparagus. 
It is one of the best remedies in various forms of indigestion. 
Most of its medicinal value is contained in the milk which exudes 
from the skin, the surface should therefore be broken as little as 
possible. This is best avoided by boiling whole, and peeling 
after cooking.

produces large, smooth roots of excellent quality. {See cut.)

cious. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J4 lb*, $2.50 lb. 
SEA KALE
