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 veiv palatable

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.

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.

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. 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. 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. 20c; lb. 50c.

and blistered, large, rounded, and of a rich, 
dark green color. King of Denmark, instead

ducing a heavy yield 
and prolonging the 
time during which it 
may be used and 
marketed. Pkg. 10c; 
oz. 15c; lb. 45c.
