Hew Spiiiacii-Pansiaii Lous SiamMm- 



This new French Spinach has been thoroughly te.sted by 

 ourselves and many of our best market gardeners, and is 

 pronounced by all the best Spinach they have ever grown. 

 It dift'ersfrom the ordinary long standing in its broad and 

 heavy dark green leaves, which have the true Savoy appear- 

 ance. It will stand fully two weeks longer than tliis or any 

 other variety without running to seed, making it by far the 

 most valuable for spring planting. For wintering over it has 

 proven hardier than the famous American Savoy or 

 Bloomsdale, coming out from under the snow witli its 

 dark, broad, green leaves in prime condition. Pkt.,.5e.; oz., 

 lOc; 14 lb., 15c.; lb., 40c.; 10 lbs. and over, 35c. per lb., by

ENKHUIZEN, LONG STANDING. This genuine 

 long standing spinach was imported and introduced by us 

 several years ago. We have often seen it stand so long that 

 the leaves actually turned yellow befor shooting to seed, 

 hence its great value for spring sowing. The leaves are 

 round, large, unusually tliick, deeply curled and of a fine 

 dark green color Our stock is grown in Holland especially 

 for us. This variety is superior to the ordinary Long Stand- 

 ing offered in many catalogues. Pkt., .5c.; oz., lOc; J4 lb.,

 much cannot be said in its praise; it stood over twelve 

 weeks without running to seed. It is by far the hardiest and 

 best we have ever grown."
