condition. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vx lb. 20c; lb. 55c, postpaid. 
WHITE SUMMER STRASBURG—This is a very desirable 
early Summer variety, of an oblong tapering shape, and of

its roots very quickly and can be sown throughout the Sum¬ 
mer, and will remain in condition for use much longer than 
the early Spring varieties. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 20c; lb. 55c. 
LONG WHITE ICICLE—The earliest variety of this class, 
being of more rapid growth than any long white Radish. Is

its name. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vx lb. 20c; lb. 55c, postpaid.

long Radishes, especially adapted for Winter use. Thick,

SALSIFY 
CULTURE—Sow from March to July in drills 18 inches 
apart, covering the seed one inch, and thin the plants to 4 or 
6 inches and cultivate often. Salsify thrives best in a deep, 
rich, fine, mellow, loamy soil, previously enriched for some 
other crop, as applying fresh or coarse manure has tendency 
(o induce ill-shaped, rough or sprangling side roots or fork¬ 
ing, though an application of liquid manure in dry weather 
will be beneficial. The roots are perfectly hardy and may be 
left in open ground all winter, but should be taken up before 
growth starts in the Spring. One ounce sows 50 feet of row, 
8 lbs. to the acre. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This is decidedly the 
best Salsify, being a vigorous grower and far superior to all 
other varieties. The long, white tapering roots are very 
large, smooth and well shaped and of a delicate oyster-like 
flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.60, postpaid. 
SPINACH 
CULTURE—For early summer use, sow as early in the 
Spring as the ground can be worked and for later use until 
April, after which time it runs to seed, except the New Zealand, 
which is a Summer variety. For Winter and Spring use, sow 
from August to the middle of November. Spinach should be 
grown only in good soil, well fertilized, as it does not thrive 
on poor land. It is best to sow in drills about 18 inches apart, 
covering the seed about 1 inch, and plants thinned to 4 or 6 
inches. Spinach seed is rather delicate and it is sometimes 
difficult to get a good stand unless weather conditions are fav¬ 
orable. Two ounces of seed will sow 100 feet of row, 20 lbs 
to the acre. 
NORFOLK SAVOY OR BLOOMSDALE—The standard 
Spinach for the South. Is suitable for both Spring and 
Autumn sowing. Is early, very hardy, withstanding the Win¬ 
ter, and grows rapidly; leaves are of the darkest green, 
curled to perfection, and retains its crispness long after being 
cut; for delicate flavor, nutritious and digestible. Pkt. 5c; x /x 
lb. 10c. Not prepaid, lb* 25c; 10 lbs. $1.70; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 
lbs. $15.00.
