RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT 
Culture—Plant 3 to 4 feet apart each way 
with three or four shovelfuls of good manure 
underneath. Seed may be sown in a hotbed 
in March and the plants set out about the 
middle of May. It takes one to two yeare 
longer, however, to obtain a crop from seed- 
ling plants.

Culture—Sow the seed early in Spring in 
rows 12 inches apart and one deep; thin 
plants to 4 inches apart in row. For Winter 
use, dig after frost and place in cellar in 
boxes; cover roots with sand or soil. If left 
in ground till Spring, dig as early as possible. 
A deep, sandy soil is best.

SPINACH 
1 oz. will sow 50 feet of drill; 15 lbs. per acre 
Culture—Spinach may be grown on any 
ordinary soil, and its cultivation is a very 
simple matter, either as a Spring or Summer 
crop. For early use, sow in August or Sep- 
tember, in drills 12 to 14 inches apart. At 
the approach of cold weather cover lightly 
with straw, or any handy litter. Uncover 
when the plants begin to make a new growth 
in Spring. For Summer use, sow early in 
Spring in the same way as above, using rather 
less seed. If the plants stand too thick, thin 
to 3 or 4 inches apart. A liberal dressing of 
good manure should be used. The land can 
hardly be made too rich. 
Except as noted:

rounded, dark green leaves which are 
rather crumpled; a fine variety for canning.

ter than other sorts. Good for Summer 
crops. A decided improvement over old 
types of Savoy, yet dark green and heavily 
crumpled. 
Nobel Giant (Improved Thick-Leaved). A 
new, smooth, very large-leaved variety, 
medium green in color and long standing. 
Old Dominion (Blight Resistant). Similar 
to Savoy, but with the leaves somewhat 
more pointed. One of the best varieties for 
planting in the Fall for a Spring crop.

Savoy, but slightly darker in color.

sort with very large, slightly curled, broad 
leaves.

heat of Summer when other varieties of 
true Spinach fail. Soak for 24 hours before 
planting. Pkt. 10c., oz. 35¢., 14 lb. $1.00 

SWISS CHARD 
Grown for Leaves Only 
Sow 1 oz. to 50 feet of drill 
Ready for use about five weeks after sow- 
ing. After once having used Swiss Chard for 
greens, we believe that you will always in- 
clude it in your garden for the fleshy leaves 
are very delicious. ‘These are served like 
Spinach and the leaf stalks like Asparagus 
by using the thick midribs of the outer leaves. 
Produces a continuous crop throughout a 
long season.

PLANT FOR SUCCESSION 
CROPS 
Get the utmost from your garden 
by planning successive crops—one 
to be put in as soon as another has 
matured. Some suggestions are: 
Late Cabbage plants after early 
Peas; Celery plants (early or late 
varieties) after late Peas; Giant 
Straightneck Summer Squash after 
early Lettuce; Fordhook Bush 
Limas after Spinach, Lettuce or 
Radishes; Bush ‘‘Snap’’ Beans, 
either green or wax podded, after 
early Beets; Crosby Beets after early 
string Beans; Kale after early 
Onions from sets; Turnips after 
Peas; Cucumbers for pickles after 
Lettuce, Radishes or Spinach; or, 
if you prefer, plants of Peppers and 
Eggplants after these crops. Of 
course, it is possible to grow quick 
maturing crops like Radishes and 
green Onions from sets on ground 
that will later be required by 
Cucumbers, Melons and Winter 
Squash, these being vegetables that 
Ge not be planted until well into 
une.
