RHUBARB 
Fresh and Delicious 
The roots can be raised from seed sown 
in spring, and are ready to transplant to 
the permanent bed the next spring. The 
seed must be sown in fine, rich soil, and 
the seedlings must have good care. 
VICTORIA. The most popular variety, 
fine for family use and market. Comes 
quite true from seed.

An ounce will sow 50 feet of drill. 
Sow early and deeper than parsnip, 
otherwise culture is the same and, like 
parsnips, roots, if desired, may be left in 
the ground through the winter, but should 
be dug very early in the spring, as they 
deteriorate after growth commences. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. Larger, 
of strong growth, and less liable to grow 
| V ictoria Rhubarb 
Spinach 
An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 14 to 16 pounds 
to the acre. 
Culture: For spring and summer use, sow in drills one 
foot apart and one inch deep, as early as the ground can 
be worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For 
winter and early spring use sow in September in well- 
manured ground; cover with straw on the approach of 
severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich. 
*xSUMMER SAVOY. This strain of Long Standing Blooms- 
dale is fine for a summer crop as it will stand hot weather 
well. It is a little darker than Bloomsdale Long Standing. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 45c. 
SAVOY-LEAVED, or BLOOMSDALE. The earliest variety 
and used almost entirely for fall sowing, as it runs quickly 
to seed in warm weather. Leaves of medium size, dark 
green, pointed and crimped. PkKt., 10c; 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 45c. 
SAVOY, VIRGINIA YELLOWS-RESISTANT. It will grow 
on disease-infested soil and produce a crop where others 
fail. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 14 Ib., 45c. 
NEW ZEALAND. The hot weather spinach. 
Leaves and stems are succulent and tender. 
May be picked frequently during the summer.

Salsify 
BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING. In appearance quite 
similar to the Bloomsdale strain, the leaves being more 
intensely green. On account of the low per cent of male 
plants it stands heat remarkably well. After other kinds 
have gone to seed this will stand for a long time. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 20c; 14 Ib., 45c. 
xEARLY GIANT THICK-LEAVED. Leaves very large and 
thick, deep green, attaining a size suitable for use early 
and plant grows to a large size before running to seed.
