Two Crops in One With Mixed Radishes 
PARSNIP 
oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
Seed germinates very slowly and particular care 
should be taken to have the soil in good condition before 
planting. Sow in rows % inch deep and 24 to 30 inches 
apart. Thin seedlings to a stand of 4 inches apart in 
row. May be dug in fall and stored out-of-doors with 
covering of dry leaves. 
34 cHARRIS MODEL: 150 days. An improved strain 
of the old Hollow Crown but better filled at the sides. 
The roots are well shaped, smooth and white. We 
grow this seed from selected transplanted roots. 
This increases the cost but we feel that it is worth it 
to the gardener who wants quality parsnips. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; yi lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.15; 10 lbs. 
$10.45. 
RADISH 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
For continuous harvest, sow every two weeks from 
April 1st to September 1st. Uniform sowing % inch 
deep and yi inch apart should require no thinning. 
Rows 12 inches apart. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE: 24 days. The most 
popular variety for both commercial and home use. 
Olive shaped and rich bright scarlet in color. The 
flesh is white and tender. Tops are medium. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; yi lb. 20 cts.; lb. 65 cts. 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE: 24 days. Special short 
topped stock for greenhouse forcing. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts. 
COMET: 24 days. Much like the Early Scarlet Globe 
but round instead of olive shape; fully as early. It 
has a medium top, is bright scarlet in color and holds 
longer than other varieties without becoming pithy. 
We believe Comet is a valuable addition to our 
radish list. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 30 cts.; 
lb. 95 cts. 
ICICLE: 27 days. The best early white radish. Roots 
are 5 to 5X inches long, slender, tapering at the tip.

longer than the early varieties. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 
cts.; X lb. 25 cts.; lb. 60 cts. 
MIXED VARIETIES: The advantage of sowing 
mixed radishes for the home garden is that the early 
varieties bottom first and can be pulled leaving room 
for the later kinds. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; X lb. 
25 cts.; lb. 75 cts. 
SALSIFY or Vegetable

“I write to inform you of my success in growing your new Honey 
Cream Watermelon last year. I planted them in the garden May 
20th and on August 20th I picked my first ripe meloii weighing 15 
pounds, and it was fully ripe and delicious. We continued picking 
them for more than 6 weeks, weighing 8 to 10 pounds each, and 
the last one we picked October 20th was fully as good as the earlier 
ones.”

inch deep and 2 to 4 inches apart in 14 to 18 inch rows. 
New Zealand spinach seed should be soaked 48 hours 
before planting. Sow 1 inch deep, 4 inches apart in 
rows. Plenty of room should be allowed between rows 
as plants spread 3 to 4 feet. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY, Dark Green Strain: 42 
days. A very dark green strain. Its darker color gives 
the plants a fresh appearance for a longer time after 
being cut than ordinary Bloomsdale. Not quite as 
long standing as Long Standing Bloomsdale. Leaves 
large and much savoyed. Suitable for early spring 
sowing in east. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 20 
cts.; lb. 45 cts. 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE: 42 days. Very 
popular for spring sowing. Leaves are deep green, 
much curled and savoyed. Holds without going to 
seed much longer than the old Bloomsdale. Pkt. 
10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 
SUMMER SAVOY: 45 days. A new strain of Long 
Standing Bloomsdale. Somewhat later than Long 
Standing Bloomsdale and not quite as large but 
stands longer without going to seed. Leaves well 
savoyed and dark green in color. We recommend 
this strain for summer planting. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
15 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 
NOBEL: 45 days. A strain of Giant Thick Leaved 
Spinach. The large thick leaves are very dark green, 
crisp, tender and of good flavor. Nobel is very slow 
to go to seed and in our trials has outyielded other 
varieties. Leaves are only slightly savoyed. Can be 
used for first spring crop where heavy savoying is not 
a factor. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; lb. 
45 cts. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY: 39 days. Bred at 
the Virginia Experiment Station for blight resistance. 
Not good for spring planting as it goes to seed quickly 
in hot weather. Recommended for late summer 
planting for fall use. Dark green, heavily savoyed. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts. 
NEW ZEALAND: 70 days. Not a true spinach; thrives 
in hot weather. It is spreading in habit. Leaves 
are small, dark green and can be picked repeatedly 
throughout the season. Plants continue to put out 
new shoots until frost. Many people like this vari¬ 
ety; however, to us, the "greens" have a peculiar 
flavor and are not to be compared with the other vari¬ 
eties. Seed should be soaked for 24 hours before 
planting. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; 
lb. 50 cts.

out the season.

market garden use. Large upright yellowish-green 
leaves; heavily crumpled. .Stem thick, broad, light 
green in color. Most popular of chards. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 30 cts.; lb. 80 cts. 
FORDHOOK GIANT: 50 to 60 days. Leaves broad,
