SPINACH. 
“A 1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 Ibs. in drills for an acre. 
HARDY WINTER. A delicious vegetable, either 
for spring or fall planting. The habit of plant 
is somewhat like Victoria, growing close down to 
the ground, making it valuable for spring plant- 
ing as it retains moisture around the plant; a 
valuable quality during the hot days of early June, 
enabling the plant to grow to its full size before 
running to seed, or getting burned out by the sun. 
It is also quite hardy, as the lightest snow gives it 
ample protection, thus ensuring an early start and a 
good cropin spring. The color of plant is quite attrac- 
tive, not so dark as Victoria nor so light as Thick-Leaved; 
it is very short stemmed, so that it may be planted quite 
closely. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10¢. 02., 20c. 14 1b., 60ce. lb. 
ENDERSON’S NORFOLK SAVOY-LEAVED. In appearance 
the leafis wrinkled 
in the same way pecu- 
liar to the Savoy Cab- 
bage. Hence the name. 
It should not, however, be 
sown in spring in the latitude 
of New York, as it is almost 
certain to run to seed if then sown.
