 variety and slow to run to seed. With 

 this new sort, Spinach may be grown 

 continuously throughout the entire 

 season. It is not only hardier and more 

 lasting than any of the large leaved 

 sorts, but it possesses the further merit 

 of being a profuse yielder. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 15c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb $0.60

 sowing from the fact that it remains in
