dishes. The plants should be started in 
the same manner as other celeries, and 
when of sufficient size, transplant to 
stand eight or ten inches apart each way 
in rich soil, hoeing frequently to promote 
a strong growth. As roots are produced 
entirely below the surface, plants do not 
need earthing up. Pkg. 10c; oz. 30c.

★ GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. A new va¬ 
riety which on account of its large ear, 
being 10 to 14 rowed is well adapted to 
home, market or canners’ use. The ker¬ 
nels are of medium width and depth and 
slightly lighter in color than Golden Ban¬ 
tam. The flavor is similar but the yield 
somewhat heavier and later, as well as 
maturing more nearly even than other 
sorts. Four days later than Golden Ban¬ 
tam. Pkg. 10c; '/ 4 lb. 15c; i/ 2 lb. 25c;

Golden Bantam 
★ GOLDEN BANTAM. This is the finest 
and best sweet corn grown. While it is 
several days later than Early Market and 
Golden Early Market its delicious flavor 
and sweetness more than make up for the 
few days difference in maturity. As a 
market corn it has no superior. The cobs 
Golden Early Market 
are medium sized, the kernels yellow, 
plump and of a flavor that has no equal. 
We have yet to find a corn that will quite 
match it for flavor or uniformity of ears. 
Eight row. 
★ GOLDEN EARLY MARKET. This is a 
new sweet corn introduced in 1925 which 
has increased steadily in popularity owing 
to its extreme earliness. It is a cross be¬ 
tween Early Market and Golden Bantam 
and combines the good qualities of both 
parents. The ears are 14 to 16 rowed and 
the color a creamy yellow of fine flavor. 
It is very sweet and tender. A very fine 
corn either for the home garden or for 
market. 
In the Puget Sound region Golden Early 
Market will mature for table use about 10 
days earlier than Golden Bantam. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM. The 
kernels are deep rich golden yellow, set 
close on the cob, nearly all of which are 
twelve rowed and somewhat larger than 
regular Golden Bantam. The quality and 
flavor are unsurpassed. Fine for either 
home or market. Four days earlier than 
Golden Bantam. 
EARLY MARKET. This is undoubtedly 
the finest extra early white corn on the 
market. It was originated in the North¬ 
west several years ago. The. ear is large, 
the • kernels plump and sweet, and of 
purest white. 
Pop Corn 
TOM THUMB. Also called Japanese 
Hulless. This variety is somewhat earlier 
than the White Rice. The kernels are also 
longer and narrower. Tom Thumb when 
properly cured will pop the largest per¬ 
cent of kernels of any pop corn. Pkg. 5c;

comes settled, in hills 4 to 6 inches apart. 
They require a warm, rich soil, and should 
be watered liberally. 
LONG GREEN IMPROVED. This is un¬ 
doubtedly the best variety of cucumber 
for all uses grown. It produces an abun¬ 
dance of fruit and is unsurpassed either 
for market gardening or for the home 
garden. Pkg. 5c; oz. 15c; J4. lb. 45c.

Medal Award for 1935.) This outstanding 
new variety produces smooth cylindrical 
fruits about eight inches in length and 
about 1 y 2 inches in diameter. Fruits well 
rounded at the ends and free from ob¬ 
jectionable striping or tipping. Equally 
fine for shipping or for home use. Pkg. 5c; 
oz. 15c; J4 lb. 45c. 
IMPROVED WHITE SPINE. This is one 
of the best sorts for early table use, as it 
will mature fruits a little earlier than the 
Long Green. Fruits usually straight and 
light green in color. Pkg. 5c; oz. 15c; 
'/i lb. 45c. 
★ LEMON CUCUMBER. A dainty little 
cucumber resembling a lemon in size and 
shape. Its flavor, which differs some¬ 
what from other varieties, makes it fine 
either for slicing or for salads. Pkg. 5c; 
oz. 15c; !4. lb. 45c.

prolific, with pale green spines over the 
entire surface of the fruits. Pkg. 10c;

and tender. Pkg. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 45c. 
Kohl Rabi 
y 2 oz. to 100 ft., 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE —The delicious flavor of this 
turnip-shaped bulb combines both Cab¬ 
bage and Turnip. As early in Spring as 
possible, sow the seed in light rich soil in 
rows iy 2 feet apart. When plants are well 
established, thin to 6 inches apart in the 
row. 
In growth this is half way between cab¬ 
bage and turnip; the edible portion is the 
large bulb which forms on the stem above 
the soil. By making successive sowings, 
tender bulbs may be had throughout the 
summer and fall, and are highly esteemed 
for their mild, delicate cabhage-like flavor. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c. 
WHITE VIENNA or LARGE WHITE. 
Bulb large, white and skin smooth. Very 
fine flavor and an excellent keeper.
