Salsify 
Culture: Sow the seed in the spring in drills 1 foot apart 
and 1 inch deep, thinning out plants to 4 inches. It suc¬ 
ceeds best in light, well-enriched soil. One ounce to 50 
feet of drill. 
This vegetable, when cooked, resembles the oyster in 
flavor, is comparatively easy to grow, habits similar to 
those of the parsnips. Can be left in the ground during 
the winter; in fact, frost improves the quality.

very uniform in size; most popular sort for this section.

Tobacco 
Tobacco seed must be sown early in the spring in frames 
or seedbed in rich soil. Reset the plants in the open 
ground after the weather has become warm, making space 
between the rows about 4 feet. The cultivation is prac¬ 
tically the same as for corn. 
White Burley. A prolific sort, with long, broad, attractive 
leaves. Used for fillers and wrappers. Pkt., 5c; y 4 oz.,

Spinach 
German—Spinat. Spanish.—Espinaca. 
Italian—Spinace. 
Culture: Spinach thrives in any ordinary soil but rich 
soil increases the size and quality and its cultivation is 
a very simple matter. To secure good spinach early in 
the spring, the seed should be planted in the fall. For 
a succession, sow again early in the spring and every 
two weeks thereafter. Sow seed in rows 16 to 20 inches 
apart and thin to 2 to 4 inches apart, or seed may be 
broadcast and thinned out to 4 inches. 
Long Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 42 days. Plants are 
very sturdy, upright, with very attractive, highly 
crumpled and blistered dark green leaves. Recommended 
for mountain growing and to certain sections of the 
country. 
Prlckly*Seeded Winter. 43 days. The leaves are large, 
broad, arrow-shaped, and very dark green. Used exten¬ 
sively in California. 
Giant Nobel or Gaudry. 46 days. Very valuable com¬ 
mercial sort. Plants large, vigorous and spreading; 
leaves large, thick, almost smooth; pointed with rounded 
tip; deep green color. Slow to go to seed. Holds up 
well after being cut. 
Viking or Queen of Holland. A new introduction and of 
great merit. The leaves are large like King of Den¬ 
mark, but are borne on shorter stems. Matures earlier 
than King of Denmark. Color is darker than Giant 
Nobel or King of Denmark. Leaves are thick, slightly 
curled and slightly rounded at ends. A very heavy 
yielder and a slow seeder. The past season we made 
extensive trials of this variety in the mountains as well 
as at our trial grounds in Denver. We are pleased to 
recommend it very highly. 
Monstrous Viroflay. 47 days. An extremely large mid¬ 
season, vigorous-growing variety, with long, broad, 
pointed, thick, smooth leaves of deep green color. Ex¬ 
cellent for home gardens and for truckers.
