Salsify 

Long Radishes 
CHARTIER. Twice the size of Long Scarlet, but somewhat 
resembles it. The roots are long, of attractive crimson color, tipped 
with white. The flesh is white, crisp, and well flavored. 
ICICLE. Grows more popular every year. It can be used as a sum- 
mer Radish or forced in frames. The roots are 4 to 5 inches long 
and 14 to 34 inch m diameter. They mature earlier than any of the 
other white Radishes, and are very tender. 
LONG SCARLET SHORT-TOP. Edible 27 days after planting. 
Long, slender, red Radishes with crisp flesh. Good forcer. 
LONG WHITE VIENNA (Lady Finger). A good sort to follow 
the Icicle, for if planted at the same time as that variety, will 
mature when the Icicle crop is exhausted. Very crisp and tender. 
WHITE STRASBURG. The smooth, pure white roots measure 
4 to 5 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. The flesh is 
white, mild, and sweet. 
Winter Radishes 
CALIFORNIA MAMMOTH WHITE. Fine winter variety. It 
grows to a large size, with firm white flesh of good flavor. An excel- 
lent keeper. 
- CHINA ROSE. Sown in the fall, the seed will produce 5-inch 
roots of deep rose color which will keep well into the winter. The 
pure white flesh is very firm, compact, and pleasingly pungent. 
LONG BLACK SPANISH. A good winter variety. Plant m the 
fall. The skin is almost black, but the flesh is pure white and very 
sweet. 
CELESTIAL. This excellent variety is sold also as Chinese 
White Winter. The roots are long, cylindrical, with beautiful white 
skin and flesh, the whitest and usually the least pungent of the 
winter varieties. When fully mature the roots are 6 to 9 inches Jong 
by about 214 to 3% inches in diameter. The flesh is solid and crisp. 
ROUND BLACK SPANISH. A round, somewhat top-shaped 
black winter Radish, with roots 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Rough- 
ea black skin, white fleshed, brittle, and pungent in flavor. Keeps 
well. 
Salsify - Vegetable Oyster 
One ounce will sow about 50 feet of drill 
Salsify succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow soil. Seed 
a yellowish gray pod, about 4 inch long, resembling a banana in 
shape. Sow seed in early spring, 1 inch deep, in rows 12 inches 
apart, thinning out the young plants to 6 inches apart. The roots 
will mature by October, when they should be stored for winter use 
like carrots. Roots may also be left in the ground until spring. 
Makes a very delicious vegetable dish when stewed and served with 
cream dressing. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. A tender, delicious va- 
riety that is far superior to other sorts. The roots are large, thicker, 
and grayer, and the leaves are larger and greener. Very mild and 
delicately flavored. This is the variety that is so largely planted by 
market-gardeners, and as it becomes better known, will find a 
place in every garden. 
Sage 
A perennial herb much used in cooking. It prefers an open, sunny 
situation and well-drained, mellow loam. Sow seed in the seed-bed 
outdoors as soon as the ground becomes dry enough, about 1% inch 
deep. When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, transplant in rows 10 
inches apart, 15 inches apart in the row. 
BROAD-LEAVED. This is the variety that is most largely 
grown. It produces an abundance of its broad green leaves, which 
are used for seasoning and medicinal purposes when dried.
