SPINACH 



(©pirtat) 



One of the most important crops grown for greens, and may be had in good condition from very early in the spring until cold weather. 

 For early use sow very early in spring, and for succession at intervals. The main crop for spring and winter use should be sown in September 

 and the plants covered for winter. An ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 30 pounds to the acre. 



LONG-STANDING THICK-LEAVED. The best 

 sort for spring sowing. It has large, thick, fleshy, crimped 

 leaves of the Savoy style. Tender and of good flavor. 

 Oz. 5 cts., %lb. 15 cts., lb. 35 cts. 



LONG SEASON. This new variety will stand longer 

 without going to seed than any other, leaves thick, crumpled, 

 tender and of finest quality. Oz. 10 cts., Mlb. 20c, lb. 50c.

BECKERT'S HARDY WINTER. The plants have 

 long, fibrous tap-roots, which keep them from being up-

 good leaves before cold weather. Oz. 5c, 34lb. 15c, lb. 35c.

For early use, sow in February or March in hotbeds or in boxes or pots set in the warm window. When the seedlings are about 2 inches 

 high transplant them to pots, or in rows 4 or 5 inches apart, keeping the temperature at about 60°. Subsequent transplanting will make them 

 branching and stocky, but do not set them in the open ground until all danger from frost is past; then plant them in a warm, sunny place, 

 and water them freely until they are well established. Some support which will keep the fruit above the ground and free from dirt should be 

 given all plants. An ounce of seed will produce about 1,000 plants. 



DWARF CHAMPION. Plants compact, stocky and upright; fruit ripens very early and the plants yield enormously. The fruit is 

 always smooth and handsome, ripening close to the core, and never cracking; in shape and color it resembles Acme. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts.
