* _ {Improved Thick Leaf) 
One Ounce Will Sow 100 Feet of Row 
An improved type which should not be confused 
5 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 
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. {5c) (1% oz. 40c) (% oz. 70c)

SAXA—Earliest Radish 
Only 18 to 20 Days 
We have found this radish to be earlier than 
any of the other so-called earliest sorts. The 
best extra early variety for forcing, and for 
growing in the open ground it has no superior. 
Round, bright scarlet in color and has a very 
small top and taproot. Flesh pure white, crisp, 
brittle, mild and juicy. The Saxa is one of 
the slowest to shoot to seed.
