Witloof- Chicory, or 
French Endive 


The principal use of Witloof is as a 
winter salad, and it is most delicious 
served with French dressing and eaten 
like Cos lettuce. The seed should be 
sown in the open ground not later than 
June, in drills twelve to eighteen inches 
apart, thinning out the plants so that 
they will stand not closer than three 
inches. The plant forms long parsnip- 
shaped roots, and these should be lifted 
in the fall, cutting off the leaves and 
then store in soil in a cool place until 
wanted for forcing. The roots should 
be planted in a trench sixteen to eigh- 
teen inches deep and placed upright 
about one and a half to two inches 
apart, which will allow the neck of the 
root to come within nine inches of the 
level of the trench. The trench should 
be filled with a light soil, and if a quick- 
er growth is desired, this can be 
accomplished by a mulch of fresh 
manure about two feet deep. It 
requires about one month to force the 
roots, and the heads are cut off witha 
neck of .the root attached. Packet, 


10c.; cz., 65c. 


Tomato—Chalk’s Early Jewel 


The largest, smoothest, and finest flavored extra-early bright 
red Tomato! Within a week to ten days as early as Sparks’ 
Earliana, it is even a heavier 
cropper, with tomatoes of larger 
size and sweeter flavor,—pro- 
duced continuously throughout 
the season. 

The plants are of strong 
robust growth, with ample 
foliage to protect the fruits 
from sunscald, and not liable 
to blight. 

The bright scarlet fruits are 
smoothly round, very deep, 
and solidly meaty, with only 
a few quite small seed-cells 
and of remarkably fine sweet fiavor. Per Packet, 10c.; 3 
for _25c. 


Kale, or Borecole 


This is a popular boiling-green for fall, winter, and early 
spring use, resembling cabbage in flavor. The plant is en- 
tirely hardy in well-drained soil and can be grown easily from 
seed planted during the summer and fall months. The plants 
are-usually cut off for use when the leaves are six inches or 
more in length, but with the fine curled varieties the leaves 
can be gathered for use when of good size. With the Tall 
Sco4ch and other large-leaved varieties it is customary to 
pull off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on to fur- 
nsh a continuous supply. The sweetness and flavor of these 
greens are improved by freezing weather. One ounce should 
pipette four thousand plants. Packet, 10c.; oz., 20c.; 14

New Bohemian Horse Radish 


It is a much more rapid grower than the old variety and

are produced in almost any soil and can be very easily

dug or plowed up like potatoes. 


The quality of this Horse Radish is of the very best and it®

Leeks 


The Leek is a very hardy plant with a sweet onion-like 
flavor. It does not make bulbs, but the plant has a long thick 
neck somewhat resembling the young growth of the onion in 
the spring. These necks or stems are blanched in the fall by 
drawing the earth up about them as the plants increase in 
growth; or they may be taken up and set in trenches in the 
same manner as celery for blanching. The flavor is greatly 
improved by freezing, and the large stems can be kept in ex- 
cellent condition until well on in the spring. One ounce will 
plant 100 feet of row. Packet 10 cts.

and decided contrast. Prices for good flowering bulbs, 4c. 
each; 35c. per doz.; $2.75 for 100. By express, at buyer’s
