Hardy HERBS 
The following are the most frequently 
needed herbs. They are hardy, stay in 
your garden for many years, and continue 
to supply your kitchen for a long time, be- 
‘ginning the first year. 
S The best hardy kind for season- 
age ing. This is the true Holt’s Mam- 
moth Sage, furnishing large quantities of 
leaves which are dried, and used for their 
aromatic value. Per plant, 35c, postpaid. 
Chives A plant’ of the onion family, 
producing very thin tops, which 
are cut and used for seasoning in green 
form, like Parsley. Per bundle, 30c; 3 for 
75c; postpaid.

RHUBARB 
(Pie Plant) 
Giant-Stalk Victoria '°" .”°°"s 
been the heaviest producing Rhubarb for 
the home-garden. Producing heavy, thick 
stalks, 14-inch average length, in two heavy 
bearing seasons, spring and fall. Quality 
of this Rhubarb is better than any of the 
older sorts. Victoria Rhubarb should be 
planted on moist ground, preferably in the 
shade, where it is not so apt to make seed 
Our heavy roots will produce a 
good crop the first year already. Heavy 
roots. 3 for 55c; 6 for 95c; 12 for $1.75; pre- 
paid. 
Juneberry or Service Berry 
A good substitute for the large Swamp 
Huckleberry or Whortleberry, which it re- 
sembles In appearance and quality. Fruit 
comes in clusters, reddish-purple in color, 
changing to bluish-black when fully ripe. 
Flavor a mild, rich sub-acid: excellent as 
a dessert fruit or canned. It is extremely 
hardy, not thorny, grows bushy to a height 
of 7 or 8 feet. Would make a nice orna- 
mental shrub also, and is often used for 
that purpose, as it is very showy when in 
full bloom. Juneberry makes no fiber- 
roots; it is not a fast grower, but lasts for 
many years. 1 would call Juneberry a de- 
sirable combination flowering and_ fruit 
plant. 40c each; 3 for $1.00; postpaid. 
For this plant you 
Dwarf Blueberry need a low wet 
place, shaded, where the soil usually turns 
sour and few, if any, other plants would 
grow. Such a spot is just the right place 
for the Dwarf Blueberry; it increases rap- 
idly, making a _ pretty dense growth of 
heavy producing plants about 15 inches 
high. I do not recommend this plant for 
dry land or sunny places. The herries are 
of good size, black with a-blue bloom, very 
sweet; excellent for fresh dessert fruit, 
drying or for canning. Perfectly hardy, 
even in the extreme North. Plants are 
searce, order early.

New Seedless Rhubarb 
McDonal Another heavy producing 
new Rhubarb. For pies 
and sauce one of the very finest, and the 
plant is seedless. McDonald cooks up pink 
or light red, although the stalks are almost 
green. Its fine flavor is unsurpassed. 
Highly recommended for the home garden. 
No. 1 roots, 65c each; 3 for $1.75; postpaid. 
Ruby Re market which combines 
good growth, fine flavor with red color of 
the meat. The stalks do not run as heavy 
as those of McDonald or Giant Victoria, 
but appear in greater numbers. If you are 
looking for a true red-meated Rhubarb, 
this new and improved type will please you 
in every respect. No. 1 roots, 65c each; 3 
for $1.75; postpaid.
