MacDONALD 
THE RHUBARB 
WITH THE BRIGHT RED FLESH 
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.

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.

NEW ZEALAN 

New Zealand Spinach Will Give an Abundance 
of “Greens” From Early Summer Until Frost 

SALSIFY 
(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, giv- 
ing the genera! culture recommended for Parsnips. The roots are 
perfectly hardy and may remain out all winter, but should be dug 
early in the spring, as they deteriorate rapidly after growth 
commences. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. 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 valu- 
able for market gardeners’ use. Pkg. 10c; oz. 45c; Y%4 Ib. $1.50 
SPINACH 
No plant makes more palatable and nutritious greens 
than Spinach. For spring and summer use, sow the seed in 
drills one foot apart and one 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 ap- 
proach 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 Standing 
Bloomsdale. The savoyed and crumpled large dark green 
leaves of upright growth make it a splendid variety for 
both home and market.

Old Dominion. Blight-Resistant. A typical ‘‘long- 
standing’’ Spinach with large dark green, thick, crumpled 
leaves. Seed may be sown in the spring for summer cut- 
ting, or in the late fall for an early spring crop. The fact 
that it is of fine quality and long standing make it ex- 
tremely desirable for commercial growers and for home 
gardeners. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; Y4 Ib. 35c; Ib. 85c 
*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 up- 
right 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. Summer Savoy.

* Giant Thick-Leaved (Nobel) . Very 
large, thick, broad, arrow-shaped, dark green 
leaves with rounded tips, rather smooth and of 
splendid quality. An enormous yielding variety 
that stands a long time before going to seed.

The Cut-and Come-Again 
Spinach That Yields Con- 
tinuously All Season Long 
Unlike the true Spinach, it thrives during 
hot weather and in any soil, rich or poor. 
The tender shoots are of splendid quality, 
and may be cut throughout the entire sum- 
mer. If you have never grown this great 
green, it will pay you to try it this season. 
Gardeners all over the country are loud in 
their praise of it. Both the rich green, fleshy 
leaves and the stems are of the finest qual- 
ity when cooked. Plant three or four seeds 
in hills 2 feet apart each way.. Germination 
of the seed can be hastened by soaking in 
warm water 24 hours.

Whether the European end of the war is 
over by the spring of 1945 or not, you are 
going to need a vegetable garden just as much 
as you did in 1943 and 1944.
