Rhubarb Seed 
Good plants are easily grown in good garden 
soil. Sow the seed in rows 1 foot apart and 
the following season transplant the strongest 
plants to stand 3 feet apart. One ounce of 
seed will produce about 1000 plants. 
Myatt’s Linnaeus. A splendid early variety. 
The stalks are large, very thick, of rich color 
and tender quality. 
Pkg. 13c; oz. 40c; 14 Ib. $1.25 
Rhubarb Roots 
Rhubarb may be forced in the basement in 
winter. Dig the clumps just before the ground 
freezes for the winter and leave outdoors to 
freeze. Then store roots in cold cellar and plant 
One or two at a time in boxes of sand or earth. 
A temperature of 50 degrees is best and the 
soil should be kept moderately moist. Keep in 
a dark place. 
MacDonald. We believe this to be just 
about the peak of perfection in Rhubarb. The 
plant is very vigorous and makes stalks early. 
These stalks are very long and thick. The flesh 
is bright red color, making the sauce deep 
pink, the flavor is unique. When cooked very 
little added sugar is required.

SPINACH FOR GREENS 
No plant makes more palatable and nutritious greens than spinach. For spring and summer 
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 two weeks up to May 15th. 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. 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce, 100 feet; 10 pounds, an acre. 
Blight-Resistant Savoy. Plant this 
variety in the fall. We do not recommend it 
for spring as it goes to seed more quickly than 
most kinds during hot weather. This strain we 
offer here is almost as curled as Long Stand- 
ing Bloomsdale. The savoyed and crumpled 
large dark green leaves of upright growth 
make it a splendid variety for both home and 
market. ;

King of Denmark. The leaves are crum- 
pled and blistered, large, rounded, and of a 
rich, dark green color. King of Denmark, in- 
stead of running to seed, keeps on growing for 
a week or two longer than most kinds, produc- 
ing a heavy yield and prolonging the time 
during which it may be used and marketed.

Long Standing ~— 


Bloomsdale Savoy 
Old Dominion. Blight-Resistant. A typi- 
cal ‘‘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 stand- 
ing make it extremely desirable for commer- 
cial growers and for home gardeners.

Long-Standing Bloomsdale Savoy. 
A very early variety, and one of the best and 
most popular to plant in the home garden and 
for market. It is an upright grower with thick, 
glossy, dark green leaves, broad and crumpled, 
like Savoy cabbage. Very hardy, rapid grower, 
standing longer before going to seed than any 
other kinds except King of Denmark and Sum- 
mer Savoy.

Salsify 
A Vegetable Oyster 
One package of seed will sow 
20 feet of row; 1 ounce, 50 
feet. 
One of the most desirable 
winter vegetables. The roots, 
when cooked, have a flavor 
similar to oysters, are very 
palatable and: nutritious, and 
are served in a variety of 
ways. Salsify succeeds best 
in a light, well-enriched soil. 
Sow early and quite deep, 
giving the general culture 
recommended for pasnip. 
The roots are perfectly hardy 
and may remain out all win- 
ter, but should be dug early 
in the spring, as they deteri- 
orate rapidly after growth 
commences. 
Mammoth Sandwich Is- 
land. This variety is large 
and strong growing, with 
long, smooth, white, tapering 
roots, and is less liable to 
branch than the other sorts. 
The tops are grassy. It is 
valuable for market garden- 
ers’ use.
