 seed one inch deep. Select rich soil, and manure liberally. A succession may be ob- 

 tained by sowing at intervals ot two weeks through the season. For early spring sow 

 in August.

New Victoria. — 

 The foliage is heavy, the 

 broad, dark green leaves 

 being of the true Savoy 

 appearance and of the 

 finest quality. The most 

 remarkable feature that 

 will make it of special 

 value (for spring planting) 

 is the fact that it is in 

 prime condition from two 

 weeks to three weeks 

 after all other varieties of 

 Spinach have run to seed.
