VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 7 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
The roots of this vegetable are appetizing and nutritious, 
and the flavor is like that of Oysters. Salsify succeeds best in 
a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good 
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will 
cause the roots to become irregular and branched. Sow early 
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
Parsnip. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 14 lb. 50c. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. Large and strong growing with 
long, smooth, white, tapering roots less likely to branch than 
those of other sorts. 
TOMATO 
14 oz. to 100 ft., 2 oz. per acre. 
In February or March sow seeds lightly in rows in green¬ 
house, hotbed, or window box, and when plants have reached 
a height of 3 inches, transplant in hotbeds. About June 1, set 
out in open ground, 4 feet apart, giving plenty of well rotted 
manure to each plant. Water freely during hot weather. To 
obtain the best results, trellises or stakes should be used 
Asgrow Scarlet Dawn. Gold Medal Winner in the All-America 
Selections for 1935. A very early deep red, globe shaped 
tomato. Rust resistant and wilt resistant. Trial plantings of 
this new variety seem to have done very well in all sections 
of the country. Oz. $1.00; *4 lb. $3.35; 1 ib. $10.00, postpaid. 
John Baer. Similar in every respect to Bonny Best, but often 
a few days earlier. Fruits bright scarlet red; medium large; 
flattened globe shape; smooth and firm. 
Marglobe. The best general purpose Tomato recently intro¬ 
duced. Excellent home garden variety and particularly valu¬ 
able for shipping. Plants thrifty and heavily productive and 
of long bearing period. Fruits uniform deep scarlet; large; 
uniformly globe shaped; smooth, solid, and of distinct quality. 
New Stone. The standard main crop variety is easily the most 
popular tomato in Southern California. While used largely 
all the year round it is generally planted about June 1st, 
which brings the fruit to full size about September 1st, after 
which time it will continue to bear until well into the winter; 
in some cases it will live through the winter and bear the 
next season. This fruit is large, smooth, bright scarlet in 
color and has a rich, delicious flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; *4 lb. 
$1.50; 1 lb. $4.50, postpaid. 
Ponderosa. A favorite sort for the home garden; of immense 
size, sometimes weighing from 2 to 3 pounds each; has very 
few seeds. Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 14 lb, $1.90; 1 lb. $5.50, postpaid. 
Pritchard (Scarlet Topper). Wilt resistant, of the type of 
plant known as self-topping or self-pruning. Mid-season to 
late and a heavy cropper. Fruits globe-shaped, deep scarlet, 
smooth and solid. A good home and market variety and very 
popular for shipping, 80 to 85 days. 
Spark’s Earliana. One of the earliest scarlet fruited varieties. 
Medium size, almost seedless and solid. Vine open and spread¬ 
ing. A heavy bearer. Succeeds everywhere. 
Special Early No. 498. Very early and extremely prolific for 
such an early variety. The bright scarlet globular fruits are 
medium sized, wonderfully solid, free from core and contain 
but few seeds. Unlike some other early strain the foliage 
grows well to the center of the plant protecting the fruits 
from sun-scald or sunburn. Flesh is firm and of fine flavor. 
Either for the home garden or for shipping we do not know 
of another early variety the equal of Special Early No. 498. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; 14 lb. $1.65; 1 lb. $5.00, postpaid. 
TURNIP 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 2 to 3 lbs. per acre.

1 oz. 15c; 14 lb. 25c; 1 lb. 60c. 
Golden Ball or Orange Jelly. Rapid grower, of excellent fla¬ 
vor. Bright yellow color. Plant during cooler months only. 
Purple Top White Globe. This variety may be grown to quite 
a large size without developing signs of coarseness. It is of 
spherical shape with white skin, the upper one-third being 
colored reddish purple. Flesh pure white, firm, fine grained 
and of superior flavor. Good keeper. Fine for table use and 
stock feeding. 
Snowball. A desirable sort for home use and early markets. 
Tops small and erect. Roots medium sized, round, white 
throughout, crisp, sweet and tender.
