Imperial 44 Lettuce - 


Horseradish 
400 to 100 feet of row; 10,000 per acre. 
Place them horizontally in the ground, the thicker end a bit higher. 
Space them about a foot. You can dig them in the fall, but it may be 
better to give them 2 years to get big sturdy roots. Mark off the rows 3! 
feet apart and set the roots 18 inches apart in the rows, the small ends 
down and the tops 1 to 3 inches below the surface. 
Maliner-Kren (New Bohemian) 
Postpaid: Strong sets, 6 to 8 inches long, 40c per doz.; $2.50 per 100 
Not Prepaid: $16.00 per 1000. (Weight 40 lbs.) 
Superior to common variety, producing very large pure white roots. 
Kale or Borecole 
One ounce of seed sows 200 feet of drill; 4 pounds per acre. 
An excellent “green” for winter and spring. It is suggested you sow 
the seed thinly about July Ist and later thin the plants to 1 foot apart. 
Kale is hardy, cold and light freezing seems to improve the flavor. Remove 
leaves as needed and allow plant to produce new leaves which may again 
be harvested. 
481 Dwarf Green Curled (Or Blue Scotch) 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 35c; % 1b., $1.00; % 1b.. $1.50 
(60 days.) A dark bluish green color, which it retains. Low growing. 
It attains a fair size and produces a great mass of finely curled foliage. 
Very hardy. 
Kohl-rabi 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 4 pounds per acre. 
Seeds may be started in the hotbed or cold frame during February or 
March and plants set out 1 foot apart in rows 2 feet apart in April or 
May, or sowings may be made in the open ground where the plants are 
to grow in April or May and for fall use in July. Cover the seeds '4 inch. 
‘85 Early Purple Vienna Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; % I1b., $1.50 
(55 days.) Short leaved. 
486 Early White Vienna Pkt., 10c; 0z., 50c; % I1b., $1.50 
(55 days.) Short leaved. 
Leeks 
One packet will sow 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet. 
490 Giant Musselburg Pkt.. 15c; % 02., 35c; 0z., 65c; % 1b., $1.90 
(150 days.) This is a great improvement over the old kind. The stalks 
are pure white, large and thick. The white part extends farther up the 
stalk. Is very tender and mild. White part eaten raw like green onions. 
Boiled, cooked and served as a delicious sweet vegetable like boiled 
onions. Added as a seasoning to all vegetable soups. 
Lettuce 
A packet will sow 30 feet of row; 1 ounce 250 feet; 3 pounds per acre. 
Moist, rich soil and cool weather are required for the best growth. Out- 
doors, successive seedings may be made from April to July or August. 
Head Lettuce are spaced 10 to 12 inches between plants. 
526 Cosberg Pkt., 10c; o2., 30c; % 1b., 80c; Y Ib., $1.30 
(73 days.) A distinct new variety. Heads well and shows resistance to 
tip-burn. Leaves somewhat crumpled and waved, and fringed at the 
margins. Heads medium size and firm, clear pale green to almost white 
inside. Very good flavor. Especially adapted to home gardeners. 
539 Cornell 456 Pkt., 15c; 02., 60c; %4 16., $1.50 
(76 days.) Head is extremely firm and brittle with less creamy colored 
interior than Imperial 44. It has invariably produced much better than 
Imperial 44 or any other variety. More resistant to tip-burn than Im- 
perial 44 and makes firmer, fuller heads. It has given excellent results 
on muck land for late July and August maturity. You will make no 
mistake in planting Cornell 456. 
538 Imperial No. 44 Pkt., 15c; 0z., 40c; % 1b., $1.10; 4% 1b., $1.70 
“Iceberg” type. (82 days.) Observation, to date, indicates that Im- 
perial 44 should be used for the earliest crop. All later plantings made 
up to July Sth should be of Cornell 456. Plants to mature after Sep- 
‘tember 15th should be of Imperial 44. Excellent for muck or upland 
soils. 
540 Imperial 847 Pkt., 10c; 0z., 35c; % 1b., $1.00; Y Ib., $1.65 
(83 days.) A new Lettuce of the “Iceberg” type for summer and fall 
production. Very sure heading. Heads are round, well folded, solid 
and crisp. This variety in many locations shows indications of being a 
more dependable cropper than New York No. 12, but is slower growing.
