CULTURE — Watermelons thrive best in warm 

 latitudes, although in warm, sandy soils in the 

 latitude of New York fine crops are often obtained. 

 Cultivate exactly as for Muskmelons. Hills should 

 be eight feet apart. One oz. for 30 hills. 



Our leaflet, "Melon Culture," tells how to grcne 

 Watermelons to perfection: free on request with orders.

803 MUSTARD SPINACH 



An Entirely New Vegetable Recently 

 Introduced 



It has a most delicious flavor peculiarly 

 its own, and combines in itself the qual- 

 ities of both Spinach and Mustard. 



It makes an excellent spinach grown 

 in the same way, and it has the ad- 

 vantage over any other plant used for 

 greens, because the home gardener will 

 find it of size for the table in from three 

 to three and one-half weeks from plant- 

 ing the seed. 



A continuous supply for the table may 

 be had by making successive sowings, 

 because it flourishes during hot weather, 

 as well as in moderate periods when 

 ordinary varieties of spinach fail to 

 grow. 



Chemical analysis shows this plant to 

 have abundant protein, mineral matter, 

 lime and iron. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., 80c; 

 lb., $2.50.
