Culture: The tendency for plants to boll or 

 send up flower stalks may be avoided by plant- 

 ing varieties bred to dimish this tendency — and 

 by planting early. Seeds should be sown Yi 

 inch deep in April, with 15 inches between 

 rows. Later plants are thinned to 3 inches 

 apart. For fall use, sow in late summer. Rich 

 soil is best, Y oz. to 50 ft. of row. 



802 Long Season. The Best for Sowing in 

 Spring and Summer for a Successional Supply. 

 The plant is small, with rich, lustrous green 

 leaves. These are short, broad, very thick 

 and of so great substance that they lose bulk 

 in cooking less than any other sort. The flavor 

 is unequaled. 50 days. Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; 

 Mlb. 95c; lb. $1.85. 



805 Long-Standing Savoy. Stands heat 

 much longer than most varieties before 

 running to seed. This is a great advantage. 

 45 days. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 14lb. 80c; lb. $1.65. 



799 Bloomsdale Savoy-Leaved. A very 

 popular variety to sow for late fall cutting. 

 It is quick growing and a heavy cropper, 

 producing large, fleshy, dark green leaves 

 which are deeply crumpled or savoyed. 40 

 days. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; J^lb. 80c; lb. $1.65. 



813 Summer Savoy. Produces a satis- 

 factory crop in the early summer when other 

 varieties immediately run to seed. The 

 plants are large, with rich, exceptionally 

 dark green leaves. 48 days. Pkt. 15c; oz. 

 35c; %lb. 95c; lb. $1.85. 



806 New Zealand. The Cut and Come 

 Again Spinach Yields Continuously from 

 Early Summer 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 another 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. 

 Pkt. 15c; oz. 45c; ^lb. $1.10; lb. $3.25. 



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. 

 Pkt. 15c; oz. 45c; J^lb. $1; lb. $3.
