New Victoria. 



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. Lb. 15c. 



SORREL 



Spinach is very hardy, extremely 

 wholesome and palatable, and 

 makes a delicious dish of greens, 

 retaining its bright green color 

 after cooking. 



For summer use, sow in spring 

 in drills eight inches to a foot 

 apart, covering the seed one inch 

 deep. Select rich soil, and ma- 

 nure liberally. A succession may 

 be obtained by sowing at inter- 

 vals of two weeks through the 

 season. For early spring sow in 

 August.

-SAUERRAMPFER 



A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 

 boiling "greens" or salad. Seed should be sown thinly 

 in drill early in spring. When well started thin out to 

 stand four to six inches apart in the row. The leaves 

 can be gathered for use at any time after the plants are 

 well started in growth, and the roots will continue to 

 produce a further supply. The plant is entirely hardy, 

 and, starting into growth early the following spring, 

 will afford a large supply of fine "greens" quite early in 

 the spring. Pkt. 5c; J4 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00.

 fine soil one and a-half inches in
