Espimrd, Fr. SPINACH 



Espinaca, Sp. 

 Spinal, Ger. 



CULTURE — For spring and summer use sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked, and every 

 two weeks up to May 15th, for a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September in well-manured ground; cover with straw 

 on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich. No Spinach, with the exception of New Zealand will "stand" 

 August heat without "shooting" seed stalks. Water liberally with fine sprav or sprinkler after sowing seed. One ounce for 100 feet 

 of drill.

 842 King of Denmark. An ideal variety for spring 



sowing, as plants are very slow to run to seed. 



Strong vigorous plants producing an immense 



growth of large dark green, crumpled leaves, an 



especially good sort for the small garden. Pkt., 



10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.00. 

 844 Long Season. Sowings of this variety can be 



made in early spring and followed monthly with 



further sowings, and the crop will be continuous 



throughout the entire summer. The leaves are a 



rich dark green color, very thick, crumpled, and of 



splendid quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 



\ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 

 847 New Zealand (Tclragonia expansa). Not related 



to the regular Spinaches but this should be more 



widely grown, as it stands all summer and produces 



a continuous supply of good quality leaves. 



Forms large, spreading plants, five to eight feet 



across, during summer and early fall, from seeds 



sown during April. Soak seed in warm water for a 



few hours before sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 



cts.; i lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 

 849 Prickly-seeded. The hardiest variety; and very pro- 

 ductive bearing wide pointed leaves in abundance which are 



very slow to flower. This sort deserves more general recog- 

 nition. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 

 851 Savoy Dreer's Round-seeded. An exceptionally early 



and hardy spinach, with large broad leaves, heavily crimped 



and curled, and of a rich, glossy, dark green. A very desirable 



sort for spring and fall sowing, always being reliable and sure 



to produce large healthy growth. We offer a special strain 



which is very fine; is also most suitable for canning. For a 



Summer Spinach to follow this we would advise sowing our 



Victoria, off ered opposite. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 25 



cts.; lb., 60 cts.

853 Thick-leaf, or Virofiay. A heavy cropping variety bear- 

 ing very large leaves, measuring up to 10 inches in length

 well repay liberal manuring. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 I lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts.

 fine texture, deepest green color, heavily crimped, thick, fleshy

SORREL 



Oseille, Fr. Acedera, Sp. Sauerampfer, Ger. 



Culture — Used for soups and salads on account of 

 its pleasant acid flavor and also makes delicious boiled 

 greens. Sow seed in any good garden soil, in shallow 

 drills a foot apart. Thin plants to 6 or 7 inches apart 

 and remove seed stalks as soon as they appear. When 

 ready to gather, select only the largest leaves, thus 

 insuring a continuous supply, one planting will last for 

 3 or 4 years. One ounce for 200 feet of drill. 

 839 Large-leaved Garden. The largest leaved and 

 best variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 

 cts.; lb., $1.50.
