Standing

 dale; leaves are larger, thick, dark green, crumpled and 

 of the best quality. Perfectly hardy; excellent for spring

 heavy yielding plants of rather quick growth. 

 Pkt. 10^; oz. 20^; V4 lb. 50^; 1/2 lb. 750; lb. $1.25. 



617 Princess Juliana (50 days) 



Of the long season type, but leaves are more crumpled, 

 large, thick, of excellent quality and the most attractive 

 appearance. Ready to cut as soon as many of the 

 medium early varieties. Compact growing plants that 

 do not bolt to seed for quite a long time. 

 Pkt. 100; oz. 200; 1/4 lb. 500; 1/2 lb. 750; lb. $1.25. 



625 Maule's Perpetual 

 Summer (50 days) 



It is really a form of Swiss Chard, but is entirely free 

 from the chard taste. Sow the seed and treat same as 

 Swiss Chard. One sowing provides "greens" all summer. 

 Pkt. 100; oz. 200; Vi lb. 600; Vi lb. 850; lb. $1.50. 



620 Giant Fillbasket, Long Standing 



Ail its name implies (45 days)

 crumpled, and of heavy, thick texture. Stands for a long time without bolting 

 to seed. Pkt. 50; oz. 200; Vi lb. 500; Vz lb. 750; lb. $1.25. 



622 New Zealand (70 days) ^ 



Not a true spinach; different in form, color and habit. Leaves are cooked like 

 spinach, are tender and have the same fine flavor. Grows vigorously during the 

 summer when true spinach fails; stems and leaves are thick, fieshy. tender and 

 succulent. Each branch, which grows 1 ft. or more in length, continues to pro- 

 duce fresh growth after being cut so that a supply of "greens" is available until 

 frost destroys the plants. They are not hardy. 



Pkt. 100; oz. 200; V4 lb. 550; V2 lb. 800; lb. $1.40.

 during the winter. A packet will sow about 25 feet of row; an oz. 100 ft.; 10 to 12 lbs. per acre 

 in drills; 20 lbs. broadcast. 



623 BLOOMSDALE LONG STANDING « 



(45 days) The remarkable long standing qualities make it one of the best for 



home and market use as well as for canning. The glossy deep green leaves are 



intensely crinkled and blistered, and of very heavy texture. Excellent for 



spring or fall sowing. Pkt. 10^; oz. 200; 1/4 lb. 500; 1/2 lb. 750; lb. $1.25.
