Gieen Hubbard Winter Squash 



SPINACH 



Spinach will probably be more difficult to obtain than any other 

 seed this year, as we not only face a short crop in Holland but, what 

 seems to be far worse, the near impossibihty of importation owing to 

 the feeling which has been stirred up against us in that country in 

 the matter of the embargo. We have a very short supply on hand of 

 Bloomsdale Savoy and Victoria Long-Standing. This we are offer- 

 ing in quantities not exceeding five pounds to one customer and will 

 offer it on such a basis while it lasts although we cannot expect it to 

 run very far into the season. Unfortunately Spinach is a crop which 

 has not been grown successfully in the United States on a large scale. 



940 All Seasons 



This variety is peculiarly adapted to warm weather. It is a beau- 

 tifully curled, dark green Spinach, very compact, with short stems, 

 spreading on the ground in a large rosette. The leaves are thick and 

 well crumpled, which adds very much to their attractiveness. It will 

 stand longer than any other variety without shooting to seed, and 

 for this reason makes the best summer Spinach we know of, although 

 it is perfectly hardy and can be used in the fall, if desired. For the 

 home-garden. All Seasons is especially recommended, and its 

 splendid qualities can be attested by its universal use among our 

 large market-gardeners. Sold out. 



955 Thick-Leaved VIroflay 



The heavy, thick leaves are of excellent quality. The heads of this 

 variety are larger than any other we know of. We would advise 

 it for market purposes rather than the home-garden, although some 

 people prefer it on their table to any other. By packet only, 10 cts., 

 postpaid. 



945 Bloomsdale Savoy 



This is the very best variety we know of for fall sowing. It has thick, 

 large leaves, finely curled and crumpled, producing magnificent 

 heads of excellent quality. We believe it is one of the most profitable 

 crops when grown on a large scale. We have encouraged many 

 of our customers to go into it heavily, with almost invariably good 

 results. Bloomsdale Savoy is a great barrel-filler and is excellent 

 for shipping. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., Vtlh. 70 cts., lb. $2.25, ppd. 



950 Victoria Long-Standing 



This is another hot- weather sort, and resembles very much the 

 All Seasons, which was selected from it. The Long-Standing is a 

 straight-leaved Spinach, sometimes called "Dog-Ear." It is, never- 

 theless, one of the very best varieties for hot-weather use, and a 

 large number of our customers still hold to it. As a home-garden 

 Spinach we believe it is equal to the All Seasons in every respect, 

 as its quality is just as good. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., Vilb- 70 cts., 

 lb. $2.25, postpaid.
