Start outdoors as soon as the ground can 
be put in shape and sow seed of any of the 
quick-growing round or olive-shaped sorts, 
not too thick, in drills inch deep and 1 to 
114, feet apart. Thin out the seedlings promptly 
to stand about an inch apart in the rows. If 
not thinned out they will only produce tops 
and not develop a bulb. After putting in seed 
for the first crop, make additional sowings 
every ten days to two weeks, but for the later 
crops, which will ripen in warm weather, use 
the long varieties. 
For late summer and fall use, sow the Sum- 
mer and Winter Radishes which are larger and 
slower growing but will, unlike the early 
round Radishes, thrive in hot weather. The 
Summer Radishes may be sown any time up 
to August 1. The big Winter Radishes should 
be sown late in June to attain full size before 
frost. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet 
of drill; 8 to 10 pounds will sow an acre.

RHUBARB 
It is cheapest to start with seed but only a 
percentage of the plants grown from seed 
will be worth saving. Sow early in the spring, 
in drills an inch deep and a foot apart, and 
thin the plants to stand about 5 inches apart. 
The following spring, reset the best plants 3 
to 4 feet apart each way. If you start with 
roots, plant them with the crown about 1 
inch below the surface. Give water, if needed, 
while the plants are producing and dress with 
manure every year after the cutting season is 
over. 
Victoria. Broad, thick, tender stalks shaded 
red. Very productive. Roots, 35 cts. each, 
$3.00 per doz. 
MacDonald. Stalks brilliant red, tender and 
of excellent flavor and quality. A new variety 
well adapted to the northern section of the 
country. Roots, 55 cts. each, $5.50 per doz. 
The cost of the vegetable seed is such a 
small part of the’ total investment made in 
your garden that it pays to plant the very best. 
Make your time and labor count by planting 
Scott seeds.

SALSIFY 
Often called “Vegetable Oyster” or “Oys- 
ter Plant” on account of its flavor. Sow the 
seed early, as the plants require a long season 
to attain full size; cover about an inch deep 
and thin to 3 inches apart. The roots mature 
in the fall, and being perfectly hardy, may 
be left in the ground all winter and dug as 
needed. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet 
of drill; 10 pounds will sow an acre. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. The best va- 
riety. Roots often 10 to 12 inches long, tender, 
and of delicious flavor. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., 
VY4lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 
SPINACH 
Spinach is a cool-weather crop and may be 
sown as soon as the ground can be made 
ready in the spring and followed with succes- 
sive sowings every ten days up to the middle 
of May. Make additional sowings in August 
and September for fall use. Sow in drills 4 
inch deep, in rows about 12 inches apart, and 
thin the plants to stand about 2 inches apart. 
To provide Spinach during hot weather, 
when ordinary varieties do not thrive, make a 
sowing of the heat-resistant New Zealand 
Spinach in April. Sow in rows 3 feet apart 
and let the plants stand about 1 foot apart in 
the row. 
NOTE: The time from sowing of seed to cutting 
of plants varies considerably with the season of 
the year in which sowings are made. Days given 
apply to spring sowings. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet 
of drill; 14 to 15 pounds will sow an acre.
