Spinach, 



This is quite an important crop with market gardeners 

 and one easily managed. 



For summer use, sow early in spring, in drills eight 

 inches to one foot apart, covering the seed one inch deep. 

 Select rich soil and manure liberally. A succession may 

 be obtained by sowing at intervals of two weeks through 

 the season. For very early spring use, sow in August, 

 and protect the plants through the winter by a thick 

 covering of clean straw or some similar light covering. 

 Spinach is used principally as greens for boiling, and is 

 very highly esteemed for this purpose. 



VICTORIA SPINACH.— This new spinach comes to 

 us with the highest recommendations from the growers. 

 The foliage is heavy, the broad, dark-green leaves being 

 of the true Savoy appearance and of the finest quality, 

 but the most remarkable feature that will make it of 

 special value, both for market and family gardens, is the 



fact that it is in prime condition from two weeks to 

 three weeks after all other varieties of Spinach had run 

 to seed.

CURLED SAVOY, or BLOOMSDALE. — The leaves 

 are finely curlci , large, thick and heavy, and are produced 

 in great numbers. By far the best and most productive

 Washington, Norfolk and other large cities. Our sales 

 of this sort increase rapidly each year.
