Long Season Spinach. 
SPINACH is most extensively grown during the 
winter and spring months, for the reason that the 
plants quickly run to seed in hot weather. With our 
new Long Season variety, Spinach may now be con- 
tinuously grown in any home garden, so that this 
most delicious of ‘‘boiling greens’’ may be enjoyed 
not only during cool weather months, but in the sum- 
mer as well. It forms.a dense rosette of thick, tender 
and succulent, crumpled leaves of intensely dark 
green color; their great substance and short leaf 
stalks enable them to ‘‘stand up’’ in hot weather, 
retaining their freshness for a long period after cut- 
ting. There is no other variety that will stand so long 
without running to seed and remain in an edible con- 
dition. Itis the best variety to be sown in spring, and 
at monthly intervals for a successional summer supply.

Mammoth Sandwich Island 
Oyster Plant or Salsify. 
NE of the most delicious of winter vegetables, 
and also one of the most nutritious; the flavor 
is sweet and highly esteemed whether served boiled 
with butter or other suitable sauce, or sliced and 
fried, or used in soup. 
This new variety, where known, is entirely 
superseding the old type, asit produces roots nearly 
double the size and weight and of equally good 
quality. Seed sownin spring produces large, fine 
roots that may remain in the ground all winter or 
may be dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem- 
ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, to be 
used as desired during the winter. (See cut.)
