variety, which is claimed by many to be the finest Spinach 
yet introduced. The first plants of Spinach to blossom are 
the male plants. Princess Juliana is a type without male o 
plants, which causes it to remain in prime condition longer 
than other sorts. The leaves are of good size, very dark 
green, well crumpled and thick. Valuable for spring or 
autumn planting. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 15c; 44 lb., 32c; Ib., 80e;

CANADA RED [ 
RHUBARB 
Stalks are very tender, do 
not grow large, and are in- 
tensely red—even the inside 
of the: ’s ta 1-teas red clear 
through. When cooked or 
eanned it is as red as straw- 
berry sauce. Mild and de- 
licious, requiring a minimum 
quantity of sugar.

the finest ,of all of the Red

You can have Rhubarb any time in the 
winter and market same at high prices. 
The profit in growing Rhubarb is enormous,,. 
and the culture for open field is very sun- 
ple. Plant Rhubarb roots this spring; culti- 
vate well to secure large clumps of roots by 
fall. In the late fall take these clumps up 
and allow them to freeze for a few days 
and nights; then set them in barrels or 
boxes and put them in a cellar or any place 
where the temperature can be kept from 
50 to 70 degrees. Keep the soil moist—not 
wet—and in 4 or 5 weeks you will have 
Rhubarb large enough to use or sell on the 
market. You can get about three cuttings 
during the winter, when prices are high, 
and from $100.00 to $200.00 worth can be 
Rhubarb is also especially adapted to 
forcing in greenhouses, hot beds and cold 
frames. If grown in the open field it is the 
first vegetable from the ground in the 
spring and the easiest of all perennial 
plants to grow. ; 
‘We offer a fine stock of roots this spring, 
every one of which should make a good 
clump for either winter forcing or ordinary 
field culture.

TAMPALA 
A DELICIOUS VEGETABLE 
FROM CHINA 
Tampala is a delicious green 
vegetable, the leaves of which may 
be eaten raw or cooked like spin- 
ach. Much better than spinach in 
flavor and in many. other re- 
spects. Tampala is entirely dif- 
ferent in flavor to other vegeta- 
bles. More food value than either 
spinach or chard, and so tender the 
leaves require only five minutes to 
cook, with only the water that 
clings to the leaves when washed. 
Branches 4 to 5 inches in length. 
may be quickly gathered instead of 
picking individual leaves. 
Tampala may be planted early 
and is usually ready for eating in 
six weeks after seed is sown, It 
does well in hot weather and will 
keep on p-oducing all summer. Pkt.,

NEW GUINEA — 
BUTTER VINE 
ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS _ 
OF ALL VEGETABLES _

The New Guinea Butter Vine is a wonder- 
ful vegetable. Grows to enormous size, one — 
fruit often weighing 15 Ibs, and from 3 to 5 ig 
feet long. In growth it is similar to the 
squash, and can be grown in the same man- 
ner or can be trellised up. It is more pr 
ductive than squash and much easier 
grow. The vines are always free from dis 
ease and insect pests, and stand more ne 
lect and abuse than any other vege 
vine we know of. The fruits’ should b ¥ 
eaten when small, while the fuzzy growth is 
yet on. It can be cooked like Squash and — 
fried like Egg Plant.. When cut up in small 
pieces and cooked with cream or fr 
is most delicious. Pkt., 15c, postpaid. —
