RADISHES 
2-3 oz. to 100-ft. row. 12 Ibs. to acre. 
CULTURE. To be tender and crisp, radishes must be 
grown quickly—and quick growth requires rich soil and 
plenty of moisture. Commencing with the first mild spell 
of weather in the Spring, sow at intervals of 10 days in 
a light rich soil that has been deeply dug. They can also 
be grown as a catch crop between the rows of beets, 
lettuce, onions, etc. Radishes can be forced in the hotbeds, 
but they must have plenty of ventilation and moisture.

RHUBARB or Pie Plant 
CULTURE. Plant in March or April in a shaded place, 
and when a few inches high thin to 12 inches apart, and 
in the fall or following spring transplant 4 feet apart. The 
best stalks are produced the second year, but it continues 
to produce for several years. Apply plenty of manure. Our 
rhubarb makes fleshy stalks of the best quality and flavor. 
VICTORIA GIANT—This is a very large and late variety,

go by mail. 
RUTABAGAS 
CULTURE. Sow the seeds a month earlier than turnips. 
Rutabagas should be sown on ground enriched with well 
rotted manure, in drills 2% feet apart, and should be 
thinned to 6 to 8 inches apart in the row. 
PURPLE TOP YELLOW—Leading yellow variety; very 
productive, solid and excellent flavor; the roots grow 
to a large size, and are of the finest quality; unsur- 
passed for stock feeding. 90 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;

SALSIFY 
(Oyster Plant) 
% oz. to 100-ft. row. 8 lbs. to acre. 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots 
when cooked are very palatable and are served in a 
variety of different ways. 
CULTURE. It succeeds best in a light, well enriched 
soil; coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it 
will surely cause the roots to grow uneven and ill-shaped. 
Sow the seed as early as possible, and quite deep in 
drills about 18 inches apart and thin the plants to 3 
inches in the row. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This variety grows 
to an extra large size, averaging fully double the size 
and weight of roots of the old French variety. 95 days. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c: % lb., $1.80. 
SPINACH 
CULTURE. For early summer use, plant early in spring 
in a good, well-fertilized soil, in drills 1 inch deep, 1¥2 
to 2 ft. between the rows. Requires but little cultivation. 
Two ounces will plant 100 feet of drill; 12 to 15 pounds 
one acre. The above applies to all varieties except New 
Zealand, which should not be planted until the ground is 
thoroughly warm and will yield an abundant supply of 
delightful succulent greens right up to cold weather.

SQUASH 
CULTURE. Summer or bush varieties should be planted 
in rows 3 feet apart and 32 feet in the row, for these 
sorts are produced on bushes and never trail. 
Winter varieties are of different growth and should be 
planted in hills about 4 to 5 feet apart and allowed to 
vine and trail all over the ground. Squash do not demand 
much cultivation and thrive on almost any soil. Never 
plant squash until all danger of frost is past, for they are 
very sensitive to cold. Drop 3 to 4 seeds to the hill. Al- 
ways be careful not to bruise when harvesting, for a 
bruise will start decay and the squash will spoil.

SWEET CORN 
2 lb. to 100 hills row. 12 Ibs. to acre. 
Warm weather, rich soil and moderate moisture are 
best for corn, but a satisfactory crop can be grown in any 
garden if the soil is deeply and thoroughly worked be- 
fore planting. Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if planted 
in cold weather, so planting should be governed by this 
fact. Seeds may be planted either in rows or hills. If 
planted in rows, they should be spaced from 21 to 4 feet 
apart, depending on the height of the variety; seeds 
should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and 
covered about 2 inches deep. If planting in hills, drop 5 
or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each 
way. When plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, thin to 8 to 12 
inches apart and keep well hoed until the ears are set.
