Transplanting Root Selected Stock Scarlet Globe Radish
Just another instance of extra care, extra labor and extra expense in order to produce
seeds which will measure up to the high standard of Manns' Superior Quality
RADISH SPINACH
SCARLET GLOBE FORCING — Manns' transplanted root
selected stock. Ordinary commercial stocks of Radish are
produced from seed without digging the roots for inspection.
Manns' Transplanted Root Selected Stock, however, is grown
from hand-picked roots, assuring perfection which cannot
be surpassed. % lb.. 20c; lb.. 60c; 10 lbs., $5.50; 100 lbs..
$50.00.
GLOWING BALL— see page 28
SPINACH
OLD DOMINION— A later seeding type of Virginia Yellows
Resistant Savoy which stands 12 to 15 days longer, having
about the same season of growth as our Extra Dark Green
Savoy. With Old Dominion it is now possible to successfully
grow an early spring crop on diseased soil, where it was
previously necessary to take chances with the early seeding
character of Virginia Blight Resistant. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs.,
$2.25; 25 lbs., $5.25; 100 lbs., $20.00.
SOUTHLAND SUMMER — New special strain of Swiss
Chard more closely resembling real Spinach, producing large
heavily crumpled leaves of a bright green color. Will even-
tually replace New Zealand. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 25c;
lb., 75c.
SORREL
NARROW LEAVED— Growing in favor with Market Gar-
deners in preference to the French Broad Leaved, on account
of its long slender attractive bright green leaves. Pkt., 10c;
oz.. 25c; 14 lb.. 75c; lb.. $2.25.
We offer improved strains, grown in Holland by the orig-
inators of these strains; extensively imitated by other Hol-
land growers, but universally recognized as the most supe-
rior types ever produced. See pages 30 and 31.
ASPARAGUS
1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre;
3,000 plants per acre.
Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty
seeds to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and
give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer.
Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet
apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are
well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early
the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and
about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh
wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as
the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die
down. The next season the bed may be cut over two cft
three times. After the final cutting, give a good dressing
of manure, ashes and salt.
MARY WASHINGTON— Superior to Martha Washington
and Washington Pedigree, in quality and equally resistant
to disease. It is larger and earlier and produces remark-
ably tender dark green stalks with very compact purplish
green tips. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
ASPARAGUS ROOTS
From one to two years may be saved by planting Asparagus
roots instead of seed. Choice, 2-year-old roots, all leading
varieties. $1.25 per 100; $8.00 per 1,000. MARY WASHING-
TON, Sl.25 per 100; $8.50 per 1,000.
ARTICHOKE
LARGE GREEN GLOBE— About 500 plants from 1 ounce.
The scale-like leaves of the flower heads are used as a salad
or boiled, making a delicious dish which is very popular with
the French and Italians. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c: % lb., $1.50;
lb.. $5.00.
JERUSALEM OR TUBEROUS ROOTED — Grown exclu-
sively for their large potato-like roots which are valuable
for feeding hogs. Price, % pk., 45c; pk., $1.25; bu., $4.00.
