NEW ZEALAND 
The Cut and Come Again Spinach. 
Yields Continuously from Early Sum- 
mer to Late Fall 
During the hot summer months, when 
ordinary spinach bolts and goes to seed, 
New Zealand is at its best. It thrives on 
almost any soil and withstands drought 
wonderfully well. 
The plant is bushy in form and produces 
quantities of succulent, rich green leaves of 
a delightful flavor. As the tops are cut off, 
side shoots develop and in a few days an- 
other crop may be cut. 
For an early crop, start the seed indoors 
during March and transplant the seedlings 
to the open ground after danger from frost. 
60 days.

807 PERPETUAL. That this new plant can 
without any stretch of the imagination be 
called Perpetual is due to the fact that it is 
in reality a form of Swiss chard. Perpetual 
spinach, however, is entirely without the 
somewhat bitter flavor of Swiss chard, and 
tastes like a good variety of spinach. 47 days.
