The roots of this vegetable are appetizing and nutritious, 
and the flavor is like that of oysters. Salsify succeeds best 
in a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a 
good depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, 
as it will cause the roots to become irregular and branched. 
Sow early and quite deep, giving the general culture 
recommended for parsnip.

Improved Thick Leaf. The seed of this thick leaved variety 
produces the largest Spinach. They grow rapidly and remain 
in good condition a long time. The medium green leaves are 
large, rounded, slightly crumpled, succulent, and tender. It is 
an excellent home garden Spinach. ~ 
New Giant Smooth Leaf. The largest and the most productive 
of any sort we have tried. Plants 20 inches across are not un- 
common on good soil. The leaves are simply immense, of deep 
green, very heavy, brittle and tender. It is very slow to seed 
and is especially valuable for spring, summer and fall cutting. 
New Zealand. Although not a true Spinach, the leaves look 
like Spinach and are very useful as greens. On soil too poor to 
grow Spinach successfully, the plants thrive and produce 
groups of small fleshy leaves that are tender and delicious 
when cooked. Each branch of the plant produces others, so 
that it goes on providing a continuous supply of greens 
throughout the summer. 
Giant Nobel. Large. smooth, deep green leaves, thick arrow- 
shaped with round tip. Very prolific. Popular with canners 
as well as home gardeners. 
Tampala. Delicious green vegetable, so different in flavor to 
other vegetables used as ‘‘greens”’ that it is difficult to com- 
pare it to any of them. It does well in hot weather and will 
keep on producing all summer. 
Pkt. 15e.
