ney’s seed and are Satisfied with Gurney quality.

TREATED GARDEN SEED 
To Destroy Seed Borne Diseases 
Certain diseases of vegetables are carried on the seed and may cause 
the loss of your entire crop. Gurney’s have insured you against losses 
caused in this manner. 
All garden seed sold by us is treated here at Yankton before it is 
sent to you. This treatment absolutely kills all seed borne diseases 
and, also, increases the germination and vigor of the seed. This is 
rather costly both in labor and material, but is a service you have a 
right to expect from your seed merchant. 
We are pleased that we are the first seedsmen in the Northwest to 
give this service. 
ASPARAGUS 
• MARY WASHINGTON 
Asparagus is one of 
the best vegetables 
we have and is very 
easy to raise. Once es¬ 
tablished, an Aspara¬ 
gus bed will last for 
many years. Sow 
early in the spring in 
drills two inches deep. 
Mulch heavily in.the 
fall and you will have 
an Asparagusbedthat 
will last a lifetime. 
We list only the Mary 
Washington variety, 
which is earlier and 
larger than any other 
besides being abso¬ 
lutely rUst-resistant. 
The large straight stalks are dark green in color. 
The tips are tight and do not start to branch 
until they are nearly a foot high. This is the 
finest Asparagus both for the home garden and 
for market. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 75c. 
SUMMER ASPARAGUS 
SQUASH 
Known as “Cut and Come Again.” This most 
delicious vegetable is worth a place in all gardens. 
The plant makes a strong growth, like summer 
crook-neck squash. The fruit should be cut at 
four to six inches long and should not be al¬ 
lowed to mature, as it stops the formation of 
new fruit. Cook it just the same as asparagus. 
Yields wonderfully. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz.,15c; */4 40c. 
GROUND ALMOND 
Is a very interesting novelty as one hill will 
produce as many as 125 to 150 nuts. They should 
be sown in good mellow ground, they have a very 
fine almond flavor. The nuts are about three- 
quarters of an inch in length, having a thin brown 
skin and snow white meat that becomes sweeter 
after the nuts have been harvested and dried for 
a time. The nuts will mature in the fall after the 
first frost. Pkt., 7c; Vi lb., 20c: 1 lb., 45c.

• ITALIAN GREEN—Sprouting 
We have a fine strain of this choice Italian 
vegetable which has only recently become a fav¬ 
orite in American markets. Plants do not make 
solid heads but produce an abundance of light 
green, tender sprouts with loose fiowerheads at 
the end. It is cooked like Spinach. Sow in May, 
harvest in August. Very delicious and tasty.

of August. The flavor of the plants improves 
after they have been touched by frost. One 
ounce sows 500 feet of drill.

ley, tender and very fine flavor. Immense quan¬ 
tities produced in South find ready sales in the 
North. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; lb., 65c. 
• TALL SCOTCH CURLED 
One of the very best plants for greens, well 
known and much planted by German-Americans. 
It is much hardier than cabbage. The leaves are 
very curly. Pkt., 5c; oz,, 10c; Vi lb., 25c; lb., 65c. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Grown for .the small solid heads that grow in 
great numbers on the main stem. When these 
heads begin to form, remove the lower leaves of 
the plant so that all the nourishment will go into 
the sprouts. Brussels Sprouts are more tender 
and finer flavored than cabbage. Plant in hot¬ 
bed, then transplant to open ground. They are 
quite hardy and will form their best heads after 
frost. Pkt., 6c; Vi oz., 15c; oz., 25c; Vi lb.,
