The standard main crop variety. Vigorous, 
hardy and of good quality. Stalks crimson, 
shading to green above, thick and juicy. 
Rhubarb does not come 100% true from 
seed but the weaker and off-type plants 
can be discarded from the seed bed before 
transplanting to permanent location in the 
Fall. Edible stalks usually ready by sec- 
ond Spring. 
SALSIFY 
Mammoth Sandwich Island 
A very superior strain, often called “‘vege- 
table oyster.” Strong foliage, large, uniform, 
smooth, white roots. Standard variety for 
market garden and shipping. 
SPINACH

The improved savoy type, standing a week 
longer in hot weather. Round seeded.

The popular early sort for home and mar- 
ket gardens. Plants upright, 6 to 8 in. 
high. Leaves medium size, crumpled, blis- 
tered, glossy deep green. Runs to seed in 
hot weather. Round seeded. 
Bloomsdale, Virginia Blight Resistant 
40 days 
Similar in general to Bloomsdale Rese- 
lected. Especially adapted for sections where 
Blight or Mosaic is serious. This variety is

fested soil.

arrowshaped with round tip. Very prolific.

large, rounded, somewhat blistered, deep 

green, Vigorous grower with spreading 
habit. Excellent for home gardens and can 
ners. Round seeded.

The variety which endures heat and hence 
is an ideal variety for summer use. It

leafy shoots may be cut throughout the sum- 
mer. This plant is not a real member of the 
spinach family. Seeds large, irregular.
