LONG SEASON SPINACH 
I'r)r many years the amateur gardener had poor success in growing Spin¬ 
ach, owing to its aggravating haljit of going to seed just aljout the time 
it should he ready for use. The development of a t 3 'pe showing a 
marked long-standing character hasgiven us Long Season, remov¬ 
ing the only obstacle to its general cultivation, so that there is 
now nothing to hinder the least experienced from enjoying 
this wholesome vegetable throughout the entire season. It 
is very hardy. Seed sown in September will produce 
small plants, which, with a slight covering of loose, 
dry material, will be available for use very early 
in the spring. 
'Phe jjlant is small , with rich, lustrous green 
leaves. 'Phesc are short, broad, very thick, 
;ind of .so great substance, that it loses bulk 
in cooking less than any other sort. The 
leaf stems are very short, which so greatly 
reduces the di.ametcr of the plant, that it 
may be grown more closely than other 
varieties, and the whole plant forms a com- 
p.'ict, dense rosette, perfect in color and sub¬ 
stance, and uneciuallcd in flavor. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 
Mammoth O A I O I CX/' or 
Sandwich Island O/vl—Oil I Oyster Plant 
Cooked in any form, Salsify is wholesome, 
appetizing and nutritious. Its peculiar oyster¬ 
like flavor is most apparent when sliced and fried. 
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 done by boiling 
whole, and peeling after cooking, in which case 
it may be served and eaten as Asparagus. It 
is grown like the Parsnip—the plants should 
stand three inches apart in the rows. A well 
tilled soil produces clean, straight 
roots. Without this, they become 
forked. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
20c. oz., 55c. 14 lb., $1.75 lb.

WHITE BUSH SQUASH

for years been a favorite summer Squash, on account of 
itsearlincss.ctc., but thisnewsort is a vast improvement; 
it is just as early, more prolific, and the Squashes are 
much deeper, and have less prominent scallops, conse¬ 
quently are easier prepared, contain less waste and 
almost twice the amount of flesh, which is also of 
finer quality. The plants are of the true bush habit.
