SALZER’S CELTUCE 
The superb vegetable with a real taste thrill from the in- 
terior of China! The young leaves are eaten as lettuce and 
the matured stalks are peeled of their tough outer skin and 
the heart eaten either raw, or cooked. Celtuce is truly de- 
licious, with a taste all of its own, perhaps slightly like cel- 
ery, but different and milder. : 
Celtuce is really a distinct species of lettuce, but grows 
differently and has more uses. ‘The young leaves are used 
as lettuce or cooked like spinach. As a raw vegetable, the 
stalks are peeled and cut inte five-inech lengths and split 
lengthwise, chilled, and served like celery or raw carrots. 
Also delicious cooked like aspara+ 
Celtuce is easy to grow. Plants 
quickly form a rosette of light 
green leaves, and in less than 90 
days the stalks are usable. 
stalks are solid, with a delicate 
delicious pale green heart, crisp 
and brittle. Sow seed from early 
: Be sure to give 
it a trial this spring. 356—Pkg.,

TASTYGREEN | 
Tastygreen, the wonder vegetable, 
is rich in protein, mineral matter, and 
other elements so necessary to the de- 
velopment and maintenance of the 
human system. ‘Greens’ are highly 
essential to our well-being, and of 
these, Spinach is perhaps the most 
widely planted and the most widely 
used, although unpalatable to many. 
Tastygreen, the wonder vegetable, is 
far superior to Spinach or any of the 
other greens, and has a delicious flavor 
all its own, slightly and agreeably pun- 
gent with a Mustard taste when served 
hot,-and when eaten raw, the flavor 
somewhat resembling raw Turnips. 
BUG DUSTER 


















An exclusive self duster 
insecticide bag that will | - 
appeal to Victory Gar- | 
deners, millions of whom 
failed last year to get 
proper insect eontrol be- | 
cause they could not dust 
the underside of the 
leaves. «7 
Bug Duster is a con- 
tact dust that kills. in 
the same manner as 4a | 
pyrethrum dust. — Desir- 
able for both sucking and 
chewing insects attacking | 
practically all vegetables, |. — 
flowers and shrubbery. 
Non-poisonous to hu- | 
mans. Easy to apply. f 
We have large stocks
