New Golden Leaved. 



This is grown to qiiite an extent in the Southern States, and is sown broad-cast during fall, 

 winter and spring. It may be used the same as Spinach, or boiled -^dth meat as greens. The 

 White or Yellow Seeded is very little cultivated, and is used chiefly for medical purposes, or 

 pickling. The large-leaved or Curled has black seed, a distinct kind from the Northern or 

 European variety. The seed is raised in Louisiana. It makes very large leaves; cultivated 

 more and more every year.

 favorite kind here, sown largely for the market. 

 Leaves are pale green, large and curled or 

 scalloped on the edges.

 Leaved. This is a European variety, with 

 light green very large leaves. It has not the 

 same taste as the large-leaved or the large 



curled, but ^dll stand longer before going to 

 seed.

 is of recent introduction. The smooth leaves 

 are \exj hght green, almost yellow, fi-om which

 pared for the table cannot be distinguished 

 from Spinach.
