LARGE GREEN GLOBE.’ A delicious vegetable 
which is cultivated for its large flower-heads, which 
are cooked like Asparagus. It is considered a delicacy 
and demands a high price in all better city markets. 
The plant is a perennial and set in good soil and 
given slight winter protection of leaves or straw, will 
remain in bearing several years. (Pkt. 25c) (% oz. 
75c) (oz. $1.35) prepaid. 
GARDEN DANDELION 
(Improved Thick Leaf] 
One Ounce Will Sow (00 Feet of Row 
An impreved type which should not be confused 
with the wild Dandelion. It is one of the earliest 
spring vegetables, and is much prized as a blood 
purifier and for its other health-giving qualities. 
The leaves are of a dark green color, but can be 
blanched by sheltering from light with inverted pots, 
covering with boards. It remains over winter and is 
ready for cutting the following spring. (Pkt. 20c)

TAMPALA 
"A DELICIOUS VEGETABLE FROM CHINA 
Tampala is a delicious green vegetable, the leaves 
of which may be eaten raw or cooked like spinach. 
Much better than spinach in flavor and in many other 
respects. Tampala is entirely different in flavor from 
other vegetables. More food value than either spinach 
- or chard, and so tender the leaves require only five 
minutes to cook, with only the water that clings to 
the leaves when washed. Branches 4 to 5” in length 
‘may be quickly gathered instead of picking individual 
h leaves. Tampala may be planted early and is usually 
- ready for eating in six weeks after seed is sown. It 
does well in hot weather and will keep on producing 
all summer. (Pkt.
