GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE: 90 days. Desirable 
for stock and poultry feeding; yields not only a very 
large crop but one that has higher nutritive value 
because it is especially rich in sugar. The roots are 
rose colored above ground, white below, with white 
flesh. On account of growing partly out of the 
ground and the long ovoid shape, the crop can be har- 
vested easily and at less expense than any other root

Kohl Rabi is another vegetable that is not as popular as it should be 
in this country. If used when young it is better than turnips— 
tender and more delicately flavored.

“T have been raising your Honey Cream melons for a number of 
years but in a much longer growing season than we have here at 
Sybertsville, Pa., which is a very short one. 
“My friends and neighbors thought I was crazy when I planted 
some Honey Cream melons. They all said they would not mature 
in our short season. I planted about 50 hills in the open and not too 
early at that. They all ripened before frost. All who have tasted 
them say they have anything beat in the watermelon line.”

Have you ever tried Okra? It is excellent when about 2” long in 
soups or fried, and if you find you do not like it you still have a very 
attractive flowering plant. 
PARSNIP 
Pkt. will sow 40 ft. row 
¥% oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
Seed germinates very slowly and particular care 
should be taken to have the soil in good condition before 
planting. Sow in rows % inch deep and 12 to 18 inches 
apart. Thin seedlings to a stand of 4 inches apart in 
row. May be dug in Fall and stored out-of-doors with 
covering of dry leaves. 
*xHARRIS MODEL: 150 days. An improved strain 
of the old Hollow Crown but better filled at the sides. 
The roots are well shaped, smooth and white. We 
grow this seed from selected transplanted roots. 
This increases the cost but we feel that it is worth it 
to the gardener who wants quality parsnips. Pkt. 
10 cts.; % oz. 20 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; % lb. 55 cts.; 
Ib. $1.75; 10 lbs. $15.00. 
KOHL RABI 
Pkt. will sow 12 ft. row 
¥% oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
Sow April Ist to August 15th, % inch deep in rows 20 
inches apart. Thin seedlings to stand 5 inches apart in 
row. It is best to make several small plantings as Kohl 
Rabi holds in edible condition for a comparatively short 
time. 
*xEARLY WHITE VIENNA: 55 days. If you like 
turnips we suggest you try Kohl Rabi. When cooked 
it has a more delicate flavor than Purple Top turnip 
and is not so watery. Should be used as soon as large 
enough as they become woody as they grow older. 
Bulbs 2 to 3 inches in diameter, very light green; flesh 
white. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; % Ib. $1.25; 
Ib. $4.00.
