RHUBARB or PIE PLANT 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 8 to 10 Ibs., will plant an acre. 
Culture: Sow from the middle of March to middle of May, in deep rich ground, in drills a foot apart and V2 inch deep, and when well 
up thin to 6 inches apart. In the fall, trench a piece of ground at least 2 spades deep, manuring abundantly, and set the plants out 4 
feet apart each way, covering with leaves or coarse manure. It is best not to gather many of the stalks the first season, and in our 
Southern country it is rarely successful except in shady situations. Perhaps the most profitable plan for Southern growers is to buy the 
roots—as offered below—setting them out in November, March or April. 
1 (85 days.) Very large, and although somewhat later than other varieties, the best for general use. For the 
MYATT'S VICTORIA. home garden, the roots will be found much better than seeds. Pkt., 10¢; oz., 30c; 14 Ib., 70c postpaid. 
. We can furnish fine Rhubarb Roots in any quantities in either fall or spring, but as they are carried in stock 
RHUBARB ROOTS. only during March and April, orders at any other time of the year should be sent a week before roots are 
needed. One year old roots. 40¢ each; $3.50 per doz., delivered. 
SEEDS FOR BIRDS SALSIFY or VEGETABLE OYSTER 
: . Two ounces will plant a row 100 feet long; 6 to 8 Ibs. for an acre. 
All prices are subject to change without 
notice. Culture: Salsify does best in a rich, light soil. Sow three-fourths of an inch deep from 
April until July in drills 2 feet apart, and when the plants are 1 inch high, thin to 4 
to 6 inches in the row. The roots are hardy, and late sowings may be left in the ground 
all winter.

BETTER SEEDS 
BETTER PROFITS 
The increasing demand for Tait’s 
Thorobred Seeds is undoubtedly due 
to the fact that they are never grown 
to meet a price. 
As seed specialists for more than 
eighty years it is our constant aim 
in producing and supplying Thorobred 
Seeds to give farmers and market gar- 
deners the very best seed that can be 
grown. 
Jr buying seeds, whether for pleasure 
or profit—remember—that so-called 
“cheap seeds’ usually prove dear at 
any price, and that quality will be re- 
membered when price is forgotten. 
Tait’s Thorobred Seeds have pleased 
the most particular farmers for more 
than 80 years, and will please you. 
The cost of seed is the smallest item in the production of crops— 
therefore plant Tait’s THOROBRED SEED. 
Culture: Sow one-fourth inch deep in March or April in 
rows 18 inches apart, thinning from 4 to 6 inches. No 
special cultivation is required, as the plant is very hardy, 
but keep the flower stalks cut out as they appear. 
NARROW LEAVED. Also called Sour Grass. (60 
days.) mA Very = wholesome 
salad, the taste for which is readily acquired. Many who 
do not care for Sorrel as a dish will be delighted with 
the combination of Spinach and Sorrel, the peculiar acid 
of which greatly improves the Spinach. Pkt., 10c; 1 0z., 
35c; oz., 60c; 1% Ib., $1.50, postpaid.

Oo _sach, only not so broad. Pkt., 10¢;
