CHICORY 
Large Rooted or Coffee. Roots mature in 4 or 5 months. Dried 
roots used as substitute for and adulterant of coffee. Roots 12 to 14 
in, long, 2% in. thick at top; tapered. Pkt. 10c. 
Witloof or French Endive. One of the best and most attractive 
of salad vegetables; grown largely by market gardeners and ship- 
pers. The carefully trimmed roots when buried upright in damp 
sand and given the proper conditions each produce a handsome, com- 
pact cluster 4 to 5 in. long of blanched leaves which are tender and 
have a rich, mildly acrid flavor. Pkt. 10c. 
SWISS CHARD 
Swiss Chard is one of the easiest vegetables to grow. Planted in 
the springtime it will grow one whole year before running to seed, 
and produce an abundance of green leaves the whole year. The 
broad, white stalks can be cooked like asparagus and the green 
leaves used the same as spinach. In picking always pick the largest 
outside leaves and the plant will continue to produce leaves from 
the center. It is also one of the best greens to plant for poultry, 
as it will produce more greens with less care and through a longer 
season than anything else. 
White. Grown for the leaves only, and cooked like spinach. The 
midrib is prepared like asparagus. It is hardy and productive, with 
broad green leaves and large white midribs or chards of excellent 
quality; sown at different seasons of the year, giving successive 
greens. Pkt. 10c. 
Lucullus. A peculiarly delicious variety having green leaves which 
are remarkably crimped and curled, like savory-leaved cabbage. The 
chards are white and broad but not so broad as the common variety, 
although equally fine in flavor. Pkt. 10c. 
Rhubarb Chard. A Swiss Chard that looks like rhubarb. Stalks 
are bright crimson. Different, tasty, delicious flavor. Easily 
grown. Thrive everywhere. Pkt. 10. 


SWEET CORN 
One of the garden’s sweetest vegetables. Plant from February 
15th to August Ist, in rows 3 feet apart, drop 6 or 7 kernels in hills 
every 18 inches in the row and thin out to two of the healthiest 
plants in each hill when about 5 inches high. Break off all side 
shoots except the two top ones as they will produce the largest and 
best ears. Corn is at its very best when picked and eaten within 
an hour, but it is extremely important that it be picked just at the 
right time, especially when not too old. Frequent planting of several 
varieties in succession will keep a good supply available all sum- 
mer. 
Sweet or Table Varieties 
Alameda Sweet. 95 days. The standard market variety used in 
California and the most reliable for climatic conditions here; de- 
veloped by selection by the market gardeners in Alameda County, 
California, from Early Mammoth. Plants short and stocky with 
large dark green leaves; ears 10 to 14 rowed, snowy white, of 
excellent quality and covered with a strong husk. Pkt. 10c.

offered to the trade. As early as Sunshine and of incomparably 
better quality. Plants dwarf; 4% to 5 ft. tall; very productive, com- 
monly bearing two ears. Ears 6 to 7 in. long; strictly 8 rowed; 
very uniform. Kernels rich golden yellow, very tender, sweet and of 
splendid rich flavor. Pkt. 10c. 
Oregon Evergreen. 95 days. Earlier than Stowell’s and, like it, 
is very fine and sweet. It is very popular in Southern California 
for producing corn through the winter. It is a good canning va- 


riety and also a good late corn in the North. Ears medium to large, 
12 to 18 rowed; kernels pure white; husks firm and strong, pro- 
tecting the ear in a large measure from the corn ear worm and al- 
lowing long distance shipping. It will remain in good edible con- 
dition longer than any other variety. Pkt. 10c. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. 105 days. Standard late variety very val- 
uable for canning and much grown for market. Plants 7 to 7% ft. 
tall. Ears 8 in. long; 2% to 2% in. thick, 14 to 20 rowed. Kernels 
very deep, white, sweet and tender and remain in table condition a 
long time. Pkt. 10c.

ity. Plants 6% feet tall. Ears 8 to 9 in. long; 8 rowed; very uni- 
form. Kernels clear white at table stage; tender and of a rich

medium, tender, sweet, and of good flavor. Very prolific for so 
early a variety. Pkt. 10c. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Edible in 88 days. This hybrid is un- 
doubtedly one of the best and most prolific of the yellow sweet 
corns. The ears are 8 to 10 inches long with 14 to 16 rows of ker- 
nels, slightly lighter in color and yielding about 40 per cent more 
marketable ears than Golden Bantam. Grows 5 to 6 feet high 
with sturdy stalks and deep green foliage. Pkt. 10c. Write for 
quantity prices. 
Marcross 39. This is a splendid, new, hybrid top cross variety of 
early yellow sweet corn. It is exceptionally early, maturing about 
five days earlier than Golden Bantam or about 75 days from time of 
planting. The ears are of deep golden yellow, 6 to 7 inches long 
with 12 to 14 rows of good large kernels which are very sweet and 
of a fine flavor. 
The plant produces a good, strong stalk and root system and is 
quite resistant to wilt. It is almost more drought resistant than 
many other early varieties. 
Marcross 39 is a very heavy yielder, with the ears placed well up 
on the stem, making it easy to pick, and should prove very popular 
with both the market and home gardener. Pkt. 10c. 
-Carmelcross. 79 day. Large 8 inch ears, well filled with medium- 
yellow kernels. Good flavor and quality. Early. Plant 4% to 5 ft. 
high. Pkt. 10c. 
EGGPLANT 
Black Beauty. Popular home and market sort. Plants thrifty, 24 
to 30 in. tall, commonly bear 4 to 6 large fruits, which are smooth, 
broad egg-shape; uniform; very rich dark purple and retain the 
color a long time. Pkt. 10c. 
Large New York Purple. The standard home and market sort. 
Plants are large, 30 to 36 in. tall; very productive, commonly bear- 
ing 4 to 6 or more large, handsome, dark purple, symmetrical, broad,

CUCUMBER 
Plant from February 15th to July 15th in hills 4 feet apart each 
way, dropping from 8 to 10 seeds per hill, and cover an inch deep. 
When they are about 5 inches high and danger of insects is past, 
thin out, leaving only four of the largest and healthiest plants to 
each hill. Cucumbers are extremely easy to grow and a few hills 
will produce an abundance for an average family. They are of 
very rapid growth, maturing from 6 to 8 weeks from date of plant- 
ing. Keep the crop picked, when large enough for use, whether 
required or not; otherwise, if left to ripen, they will stop bearing.
