Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1927. 21 1 I J. CHIVES Witloof Chicory. CHICORY Witloof, 1 ox. to 30O feet of drill. Large Rooted, 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. Witloof Chicory—"French Endive"—A delicious winter salad. Seeds sown in spring- outdoors produce parsnip-like roots which should be taken up in fall, trimmed and planted In a cool cellar covered with about 8 inches of soil. Over this should be placed a layer of fresh manure two to three feet deep, which forces a new growth of tender leaves that are used as a salad. It is considered a great delicacy. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 14 lb. 85c. Large-Rooted or Coffee—The prepared roots are used as a substitute for and to mix with coffee. The new leaves in the spring- make fine salad. Cultivate same as Carrots. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Vi lb. 75c. CORN SALAD OR FETTICUS. 3 oz. to 100 square feet. Used as a salad. Sow early in spring in drills, or, for very early use, sow in fall and winter over same as Spinach. If grown in cold frame and covered with straw mats, it can be used at any time during the winter. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 70c. Corn Salad or Fetticns. CRESS OR PEPPER GRASS. 1 oz. to 16 square feet. A favorite pungent salad. Sow thickly at frequent inter- vals, to keep up a succession, as it soon runs to seed. Extra Curled—Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c. Upland Cress (Barbarea Vulgaris)—In many respects re- sembles the Water Cress, having the same agreeable and highly prized flavor. Sow the seed in April or May in rows 12 to 15 inches apart. Pkt. lOo; oz. 25c. Cress, Water—Grows in great abun- dance along the margin of run- ning streams and ponds, doing best in running water just deep enough to cover the plants. When once established will last for years.
