SPINACH. 



1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 lbs. In drills for an acre. 



HARDY "WINTER. A delicious vegetable, either 

 for spriiiR 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 qualitj- 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 crop in 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. USpe cut.) 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., iSc. }£ lb., 70c. lb.

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. Anew 

 and improved type, producing roots of nearly 

 double the size and weight of the old variety, 

 and of equally good quality. It has been ex- 

 tensively grown for the markets of manj- of 

 the large cities, entirely superseding the old 



SALSIFY, 



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 Toi-k, as it is almost 

 certain to run to seed if then sown.

 VICTORIA. Valuable lor spring sowing, its long-standing quality making it the 



best for that purpose. We have frequently 



seen other varieties go to seed before this

 acter make it an "all-seasons" Spinach. 5c.
