pithy, as do most varieties. It grows to a desira- 
ble size and rarely runs to seed. Four cuttings 
are usually made per year. Roots should be 
planted by hand on level land, the crowns be- 
ing placed 2 inch deep in heavy soils and 1 
inch deep in sandy loam. Set 4 feet apart in 
rows 6 feet apart, requiring 1,814 plants per 
acre. Moisture must be kept to surface until 
plants are established. In districts where frosts 
20 
would retard growth, it is recommended that 
planting be deferred until the latter part of 
February but in warmer locations roots may 
be set out earlier. Roots 35c each; 3 for $1.00; 
10 for $2.75. Postpaid. We do not offer seed 
of this variety because it does not come true 
from seed.

time from February to July 1, about % inch 
deep, in rows 12 inches apart. Transplant when 
roots are as large as a pencil. We can supply

A&M ROSELLE 
Culture—Sow early in April 4 feet apart in 
rows 6 feet apart. Always use ‘the early va- 
riety because the late varieties may not mature 
before frost. We offer only the early variety. 
It is easily grown from seed if planted after 
ground is warm. 
The calyx surrounding the seed pod is used 
for making jelly and jam, which is considered 
by many to be superior to Guava or Currant 
jelly. It is grown extensively in Australia and 
the famous Queensland jelly is shipped to all 
parts of the world. 
After the flower petals fall remove calyxes 
from seed pod. To four solid quarts of calyxes 
add 1 quart of cold water; boil until tender. 
Strain through cheese cloth, but do not squeeze. 
Measure the juice by the cup; measure an 
equal number of cups of sugar, which should 
be placed in the oven to heat. Boil the juice . 
20 minutes, add the hot sugar, boil 3 minutes, 
strain once more into glasses.
