SPINACH CONTAINS IMPORTANT VITAMINS 
ROSELLE, Australian Jelly Plant 
This plant, coming from Queensland, Australia, will grow 
wherever cotton grows, and with much the same cultivation. 
It blossoms in October and November and after the blossom- 
ing a seed pod forms with fleshy red leaves around it. Pick 
this while soft, put in a kettle with just enough water to cover 
and boil, strain. add one cup sugar and one-half cup lemon 
juice to each pint of juice and boil until it jellies. It has a 
delicious flavor between the currant and quince. It can also 
be made into jams, pies, pudd'ngs, etc. 
It is easily’grown from seed, which should not be planted 
until the ground becomes warm; if given plenty of water it 
will require eight by eight feet. It will not mature seed in 
the colder climates, but in the favored Gulf Coast Country 
it matures seed. Price 15¢c per pkt.; oz. 75c.

stalk appears, it should be cut back well into the ground.

under the surface of the soil. This is important. Choose a place 
where the soil will be moist at all times. One ounce produces 
from 400 to 500 plants. Pkt. 5¢; 1 oz. 25ce.
