Butternut — An Ideal Squash for Your Home Garden 
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 years 
longer, however, to obtain a crop from seed- 
ling plants. 
Extra Large Sized. Each 50c., doz. $5.00 
SALSIFY, or OYSTER PLANT 
1 oz. will sow about 50 feet of drill 
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. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. Very smooth 
white roots of the largest size and finest fla- 
vor, which improves when touched by frost. 
Pkt. 15c., 4 oz. 40c., oz. 75c., 14 lb. $2.25 
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:
