VEGETABLE SEEDS 
SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster 
1J4 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; Yi 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 
Vs 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. Pkt. 
5c; 1 oz. 35c; Yi lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.75. 
Bonny Best. One of the very best early varieties for table 
and canning. Vine medium, not very hardy. Fruits medium 
sized, apple shaped, smooth, solid, bright scarlet in color, of 
excellent quality. 
Rutgers. An early variety introduced in 1935. Plant large 
with thick stems and vigorous foliage. Fruits similar to 
Marglobe but flatter at stem end; bright red, smooth with 
thick walls and small seed cells; ripen from center; flesh red 
and firm and of low acidity. 
Ground Cherry or Husk Tomato. Fruits small, yellow, en¬ 
closed in loose paper husks. Very much prized for preserving. 
Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 75c; 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

uniformly globe shaped; smooth, solid, and of distinct quality. 
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.

Medium size, almost seedless and solid. Vine open and spread¬ 
ing. A heavy bearer. Succeeds everywhere.

riety. Tops medium small, upright, strap-leaved. Roots flat, 
purple red at the top, white below; flesh white, fine grained 
and tender.

a large size without developing signs of coarseness. It is of 
spherical shape with white skin, the upper one-third being

and of superior flavor. Good keeper. Fine for table use and 
stock feeding.

throughout, crisp, sweet and tender.

ular, quite smooth, color purple top, yellow below; flesh firm,
