55 days. A Grand Hot Weather Vegetable. Endures Heat; Best Spinach (o 



Summer Use 



Maule's Everlasting or New Zealand Spinach is a different plant, botan 

 ically, both in habit of growth and in the size and shape of its seeds; but ii 

 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 ciit in 5. 

 days. The tender shoots are of good quality and may be cut throughout th- 

 summer. The plant becomes very large and spreading. The leaves are com 

 paratively small, broad and pointed. Both types of spinach are boiled an< 

 served as "greens," and are appetizing and wholesome; in fact, no othe: 

 vegetable can quite take the place of spinach. This is why Everlasting 

 Spinach, served in midsummer, has attracted the attention and won the praise; 

 of so many of our customers.
