EARLY NECKLESS RUTABAGA. A new 
variety of Improved Purple Top Yellow 
Rutabaga, having no neck at all, and in our 
opinion, the finest table quality of Ruta- 
baga on the market. It has the added fea- 
ture that it grows in two to three weeks 
less time than most standard stocks of 
rutabaga, and it can therefore be planted 
two to three weeks later in the fall than 
the usual type.

SALSIFY 
(Vegetable Oyster Plant) 
Sow early and quite deep, giving the gen- 
eral culture recommended for parsnip. The 
roots are perfectly hardy and may remain out 
all winter, but should be dug early in the 
spring as they deteriorate rapidly after 
growth commences. Frost does not injure the 
roots, but before the ground freezes a quan- 
tity for winter use may be stored in a pit 
or in a good cellar. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. Makes 
fine large roots of delicious flavor. The 
best variety.
