GARDEN SEED ANNUAL 
RADISH 
Saxa 
SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
Culture —One of the most desirable winter veg¬ 
etables, and one which deserves to be more used. 
Before sowing, the soil must be stirred to con¬ 
siderable depth. Sow early and quite deep. Frost 
does not hurt the roots, but a quantity should be 
stored for winter in a pit or cool cellar before the 
ground freezes. An ounce will sow 100 feet; 8 White Tip or Sparkler 
to 10 pounds per acre. 
FALL OR WINTER VARIETIES 
CALIFORNIA MAMMOTH WHITE WINTER. A long 
white radish of cylindrical shape. 
HALF LONG BLACK. A medium sized winter rad¬ 
ish, the skin rather more gray than black. 
LONG BLACK SPANISH. A long, tapering, black 
skinned radish for winter use. 
CHINA ROSE WINTER. One of the most popular 
winter sorts. Roots bright rose color, cylin¬ 
drical shape; flesh white and pungent. 
ROUND BLACK SPANISH. previous page. 
WHITE CHINESE OR CELESTIAL. The whitest and 
mildest winter variety. Roots cylindrical, white, 
smooth, about 6 inches long. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. This variety is 
less liable to branch than most varieties, but 
coarse or fresh manure should not be used if 
smooth roots are wanted. We grow this seed 
ourselves for critical customers.

SORREL 
Culture —A hardy perennial, which may bear for 
several years. Sow in spring or summer in drills. 
Excellent in salads, or cooked like spinach. The 
flavor of the green leaf is sliglitly sour, hence 
often called Sour Grass. An ounce will sow 100 
feet; 5 pounds per acre. 
NARROW LEAF. (Silver Leaf). This is a very 
special stock of sorrel. It is superior in many 
ways to the imported seed. 
BROAD LEAF. The imported seed, not equal to 
our Narrow Leaf, but very nice.
