Spinach Good for You 
An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 14 to 16 pounds to 
the ocre. 
Culture. For spring and summer use, sow in drills 1 
foot opart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can 
be worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For 
winter and early spring use, sow in September in well- 
manured ground; cover with straw on the approach of 
severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich. 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING. In appearance quite 
similar to the Bloomsdale strain, the leaves being more 
intensely green. On account of the low percent of male 
plants it stands heat remarkably well. After other 
kinds hove gone to seed this will stand for a long time.

Rhubarb - A Real Spring Tonic 
FRESH AND DELICIOUS 
The roots can be raised from seed sown in spring, and 
are ready to transplant to the permanent bed the next 
spring. The seed must be sown in fine, rich soil, and the 
seedlings must have good care. 
VICTORIA. The most popular variety, fine for family 
use and market. Comes quite true from seed. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 25c; V4 lb., 90c. 
RHUBARB ROOTS. Sent by express or parcel post at 
buyer's expense. 2 for 25c. 
Salsify or Vegetable Oyster 
An ounce will sow 50 feet of drill. 
Sow early and deeper than parsnip, otherwise culture 
is the same and, like parsnips, roots, if desired, may be 
left in the ground through the winter, but should be dug 
very early in the spring, as they deteriorate after growth 
commences. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. Larger, of strong 
growth, and less liable to grow spongy than the old 
Long White. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; V 4 lb., 90c.
