Seed Catalogue and Garden Guide.
NON PLUS ULTRA.—An improvement on the Deep Scarlet Turnip. Remarkably fine in quality, and of very quick growth, and ready to pull within fifteen to twenty days after sowing. Perfectly globular little roots, of very bright color and excellent shape—certain to insure ready sale on the market. It is by far the best strain of early radishes for forcing. Beds are planted, the crop matured and sold, and the same bed made ready for a second planting all in thirty days. No gardener can afford to grow common sorts when he can get seed of the Non Plus Ultra. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.
ALL SEASONS.—Introduced by us in 1890, and proved a decided acquisition, being greatly liked by all who gave it a fair trial. [It?] was from China, and we sent it out after testing in California one year. In this State it does not prove to be early, but makes a most excellent summer and fall Radish, and even keeps well for winter use. It is of handsome shape, stump-rooted and ivory white in color. Flesh white, crisp, brittle, and of the best quality. Never pithy. Two eastern seedsmen succeeded in obtaining a small quantity of this last year, but we are sorry to see that each of them renamed it, one calling it “New Celestial” and the other “White Chinese.” Per pkt. 5c., ¼ lb. 45c., lb. $1.25.
GOLDEN GLOBE.—One of the best summer Radishes, amber flesh, and keeps long in eating condition, extra fine quality and rapid growth. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., lb. 25c., lb. 85c.
CALIFORNIA MAMMOTH WHITE.—A winter variety, growing twelve inches long, white fleshed, firm and of excellent quality. It is the largest Radish grown. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 15c., ¼ lb. 40c., lb. $1.00.
LONG BLACK SPANISH.—Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 25c., lb. 75c.
CHINA ROSE WINTER.—One of the best winter varieties, a general favorite, bright rose colored, flesh white, firm and of superior quality. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 25c., lb. 75c.
WHITE STRASBURG.—The roots, as shown in illustration, are of handsome, oblong, tapering shape; both skin and flesh are of pure white. The flesh is firm, brittle and tender, and possesses the most desirable character of retaining the crispness even when the roots are old and large. It is excellent for summer use, as it withstands severe heat and grows very quickly. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 20c., per lb. 60c.
NEW SURPRISE.—Of early, quick growth, the Surprise is remarkable for remaining in fine condition, without becoming pithy, longer than any other Radish. The skin is thin and colored a rich light brown. In quality it is par excellence, firm, juicy and of fine flavor. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.
GIANT WHITE STUTGART.—Flesh and skin are both snowy white, very crisp, mild and of good flavor. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c,.[.,] ¼ lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.
SPINACH.—Ger. Spinat.
One ounce will sow about eighty feet of drill; ten pounds to an acre.
This makes the finest “greens” of any plant in cultivation. For summer, sow early in spring in deep, rich soil in drills one foot apart, cover one inch. Sow at intervals of two weeks throughout the season. For very early spring use sow the winter varieties first of September, and protect by covering with straw.
CHINESE RED.—A new variety of Spinach from China which is much larger than the common; has bright red leaves, and is considered of equal quality. In pkts. only 5c.
LONG STANDING.—Far superior to all others; leaves thick, fleshy, and crumpled. Slow in running to seed, hence its great value for spring sowing. The leaves are round, large, unusually thick, deeply curled and of a fine dark-green color. Per Pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 20c., lb. 45c.
ROUND.—Main market sort. Equally good for summer or fall. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 20c., lb. 35c.
PRICKLY, OR WINTER.—Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 20c., lb. 50c.
VIROFLAY, OR SAVOY LEAVED.—Grows to an enormous size, and produces wonderful crops. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 20c., lb. 40c.
PARSLEY.—Ger. Petersilie.
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill.
Sow in March thinly in drills of one foot apart, half an inch deep. Soak seed in warm water a few hours before sowing. For winter use protect in a glass frame or light cellar.
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED.—A very select stock, beautifully crimped and curled. Decidedly the best and most popular variety for general use. Quite decorative for garnishing. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 30c.
NEW FERN LEAVED.—Exquisite in form and admirably suited for table decoration. Excellent quality. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., ¼ lb. 35c.
