* 622 Maule’s Everlasting or New Zealand Spinach 
55 days. A Grand Hot Weather Vegetable. Endures Heat; Best Spinach for Summer Use 
We are induced to give this excellent vegetable a prominent 
place in our catalog on account of highly satisfactory behavior 
on our trial grounds, and because it is so acceptable on any 
dinner table during the hottest mid-summer months, when or- 
dinary spinach is practically unobtainable. The true spinach 
is a cold-weather plant, making its best growth during au- 
tumn and spring, and even going through the winter in the 
open ground with little or no protection. 
Maule’s Everlasting or New Zealand Spinach is a different 
plant, botanically, both in habit of growth and in the size and 
shape of its seeds; but in color, shape, succulence and taste of 
leaf it is remarkably like the true spinach. Thrives during hot 
weather and in any soil, rich or poor. Ready to cut in 55 days. 
The tender shoots are of good quality and may be ecut through- 
out the summer. The plant becomes very large and spreading. 
The leaves are comparatively small, broad and pointed. Both 
types of spinach are boiled and served as “‘greens,’”’ and are ap- 
petizing and wholesome; in fact, no other vegetable can quite 
: take the place of spinach. This is why Everlasting Spinach, 
served in midsummer, has attracted the attention and won the 
\£ praises of so many of our customers. We recommend Ever- 
= lasting Spinach to all gardeners who wish to eater to a choice 
) summer dinner table; also, to market men who have customers 
for the ordinary spinach. The best Summer Spinach for the 
gardener. Does well in all sections and soils.

A new spinach of the long season type, but leaves are 
more crumpled, of a darker green color. Good size, thick 
and of good quality. Although it is ready to cut almost 
as soon as the medium-early sort, it will remain fit for 
use after other varieties have bolted to seed, except King 
of Denmark, and retain their freshness during the hot 
summer months. Matures in about 45 days. We recom- 
mend Princess Juliana to all our customers. You need 
no hesitancy in planting this variety for it is exceptionally 
good and can be depended upon to produce extra fine 
quality Spinach in abundance. It is sure to win favor 
for it from both the home and market gardener or for 
canning.
