Viking Spinach 
SALSIFY - Vegetable Oyster 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet 
of row; 1 ounce, 50 feet. 
One of the most desirable winter vege¬ 
tables. The roots, when cooked, have a 
flavor similar to oysters, are very palatable 
and nutritious and are served in a variety 
of ways. Salsify succeeds best in a light, 
well-enriched soil. Sow early and quite 
deep, giving the general culture recom¬ 
mended for parsnip. The roots are per¬ 
fectly hardy and may remain out all winter, 
but should be dug early in the spring, as 
they deteriorate rapidly after growth com¬ 
mences. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. This variety is 
large and strong-growing, with long, 
smooth, white, tapering roots, and is 
less liable to branch than the other sorts. 
The tops are grassy. It is valuable for 
market gardeners' use. Pkg. 10c; oz. 
25c; i/ 4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.

SfUnCLcll 
for Table Greens 
No plant makes more palatable and nutri¬ 
tious greens than Spinach. For spring and sum¬ 
mer use, sow the seed in drills 1 foot apart and 
1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be 
worked, and make successive sowings every 2 
weeks up to May 15. For winter and early 
spring use, sow in September and cover with 
straw at the approach of winter. Keep Spinach 
well cultivated and water liberally during dry 
weather. 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 
1 ounce, 100 feet; 10 pounds, an acre. 
KING OF DENMARK. The leaves are crumpled 
and blistered, large, rounded, and of a rich, 
dark green color. King of Denmark, instead 
of running to seed, keeps on growing for a 
week or two longer than most kinds, produc¬ 
ing a heavy yield and prolonging the time 
during which it may be used and marketed. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c. 
LONG-STANDING BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. A very 
early variety, and one of the best and most 
popular to plant in the home garden and 
for market. It is an upright grower with 
thick, glossy, dark green leaves, broad and 
crumpled, like Savoy cabbage. Very hardy, 
rapid grower, standing longer before going 
to seed than any 
other kind except 
King of Denmark.

HART b VICK'S SUM- 
MER SAVOY. A 
splendid new Spinach 
to grow during the 
hot summer months 
when other varieties 
are not available. An 
erect plant with dark 
green, crumpled, 
thick, glossy leaves 
of fine texture. We

deners to try this new

adapted for fall planting. Plant large, very 
vigorous, hardy, with thick, dark green 
leaves. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 45c. 
VIKING. A new variety that combines 
the good qualities of King of Den¬ 
mark with the heavy yield of the old- 
time Viroflay. It is popular with mar¬ 
ket gardeners because of its rapid 
growth. The large heavy leaves re¬ 
main in good condition for a long 
time. Another point is that the 
leaves are smooth, thus making it a 
simple matter to clean the foliage for 
the table. Not only is it a profitable 
sort for the market gardener but it is 
a most desirable Spinach for the 
home garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 
45c. 
Princess Juliana. This Spinach has three 
fine qualities that make it a great 
home garden variety. The leaves are 
thick, crumpled, and of fine flavor- 
plants are strong and upright grow¬ 
ing, holding the leaves up from the 
ground and keeping them clean; it 
can be used for a long season, as it 
is very slow in going to seed. Pkg. 
10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c. 
Old Dominion. Blight-resistant. A typ¬ 
ical "long-standing" Spinach with 
large, dark green, thick, crumpled 
leaves. Seed may be sown in the 
spring for summer cutting, or in the 
late fall for an early spring crop. 
The fact that it is of fine quality and 
long standing makes it extremely desirable 
for commercial growers and for the home 
gardeners. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c. 
New Zealand Spinach 
NEW ZEALAND SPINACH 
(Tetragonia Expansa) 
Unlike other varieties of Spinach, it thrives 
during hot weather and in any soil, rich or 
poor. The tender shoots are of splendid 
quality, and may be cut throughout the en¬ 
tire summer. If you have never grown this 
greqt green, it will pay you to try it this 
season. Gardeners all over the country are 
loud in their praises of it. Plant three or 
four seeds in hills 2 feet apart each way. 
Germination of the seed can be hastened by 
soaking in warm water 24 hours. Pkg. 10c;

the peak of perfection in rhubarb. The plant
