|]DASHEEN 
A Delicious Vegetable and 
Ornamental Foliage Plant 
Large Tuberous Roots Used Like Potatoes, Blanched 
Stems Like Asparagus, and the Leaves Used for 
Greens. Large Tropical-like Ornamental Foliage Sim- 
ilar to the Popular Elephant’s Ear Caladium. 
The Dasheen is an extraordinary vegetable. Its tubers, with a 
protein value 50% greater than potatoes, are prepared in all 
the ways white or sweet potatoes are—boiled, baked, mashed, 
fried, scalloped and even as chips. The young leaves prepared 
like Spinach provide'tasty greens. The stems, blanched by being 
grown under a box or barrel, are as good as Asparagus. 
Recipes for cooking and-cultural directions are included with 
every shipment of sced-tubers, 
Dasheens are grown commercially in the South on ground so 
wet or subject to brief overflows that it is worthless for other 
crops. Put your worthless land to work. The U.S.D.A. reports 
1,400 bushels from less than 5 acres in Florida. 
‘While Dasheens are grown commercially in the South, home- 
gardeners everywhere can raise them in any good garden soil, 
Even in the coldest sections, the asparagus-like stems and the 
leaves used as greens make it worthwhile. Dasheens’ large, or- 
namental leaves, similar to the popular Elephant’s-ear Caladium, 
make it possible to plant in the flower garden or in a bed with

367-Page Medicinal Plant Book 
“Ginseng and Other Medicinal Plants’’ is a book of 367 pages 
with about 100 illustrations. It gives a list of plants having 
medicinal yalue, and valuable information about their cultiva- 
tion, marketing, etc. It contains 40 illustrations of Ginseng, 
showing this plant in various stages of development, and 20 il- 
lustrations of Golden Seal. Some 40 other roots, plants and 
herbs having medicinal value are described and illustrated. 
$5,000.00 to $20,000.00 per acre is often realized by the grower 
of Ginseng, so the several chapters in this book that are de- 
yoted to Ginseng are alone worth many times the price of the 
book. Price, prepaid, cloth bound ($2.00).

NEY-MAKING CROPS $$ 
They Require Little Space 
GOLDEN SEAL 
Golden Seal is a money maker, easy to raise 
and requires little space. Grow it in your back 
yard, mulching it every fall with leaves so 
that the soil is improved and the crops: in- 
creased. At ‘the current prices being paid for , 
the dry roots, the average harvest of 18 pounds 
off a square rod (only 16% feet square) should 
bring at least $45.00. And Golden Seal makes 
salable roots in 4 years from seed. 
The ideal spot for growing Golden Seal (and 
Ginseng) is in woods, where little or no cul- 
tivation is required. About %4 shade under 
hardwoods is best. It is also grown under 
frameworks supporting lath frames, brush or 
camouflage material to furnish the necessary 
shade. 
We send directions for growing, harvesting and drying both 
Golden Seal and Ginseng with every shipment of seeds or plants 
of either. For those seriously considering raising Golden Seal 
or other medicinal plants for profit, we recommend the book 
described elsewhere on this page. 
Golden Seal 
Golden Seal seed and plants are nsually set out in the fall. 
~ But because the supply is limited, you should place your orders 
early in the year. (We shall have a few plants available for 
spring planting, but large orders for plants and all orders for 
seed will be filled next fall.) 
About 1000 seeds should be ordered to produce enough plants 
(700) to set out a square rod. Order now for delivery of 1950 
crop seed or 2-year-old plants at the proper time for fall plant- 
ing. Send full payment with the order.
