Spinach ] 



Spinach is indispensable and 

 necessary on every table, and 

 should be sown at all seasons so 

 that full supplies may be had. 

 Besides- the usual spring sowinga 

 a sowing for fall use may be made 

 in J\ily of Long Standing or 

 Thick-Leaved varieties, both, 

 excellent summer varieties. The 

 August and September sowinga 

 should receive special attention 

 as they are wanted to supply the 

 table during the winter and 

 early spring. For this purpose 

 sow Victoria. The soil should be 

 well prepared using soot and lime 

 or other material to lighten the 

 soil if heavy. Plenty of space 

 should be given the jlants and 

 the rows should be 15 inches 

 apart. In cold sections it is 

 better to sow earHer so as to get 

 a strong plant for the winter. 

 Protect plants with dry litter, 

 etc., during severe weather. All 

 spinach seed is benefited by being 

 soaked in water for a few hours 

 previous to sowing, as the seed 

 then germinates more quickly 

 and the growth is stronger.

Savoy-Leaved Spinach 



A very popiilar variety to sow 

 for the late fall cutting. It is 

 quick growing and a heavy 

 cropper, producing large, fleshy, 

 dark green leaves as deeply- 

 crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage. 

 It is largely grown in the South 

 for winter and early spring 

 crops. If sown in the spring it 

 must be cut as soon as ready, as . 

 it quickly runs to seed. PKce, 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. yi lb., 

 $1.00 lb. 



Henderson's Thick-Leaved Spinach 



The best sort for faU sowing to winter over for spring cutting, being very hardy. It produces large, 

 thick, bright green crumpled leaves of fine quality, yielding a hea-^-y crop, and is one of the best market 

 sorts. It is also much used for spring sowing, being slow to run to seed and standing the heat well until 

 about the middle of June. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. J^ lb., $1.25 lb, 



Henderson's Long-Season Spinach 



(For full description see colored plate and page 29 opposite.) 

 The leaf stems are very short, which so greatly reduces the size of the plant that it forms a compact, 

 dense rosette, perfect in color and substance, and unequalled in flavor. It occupies less room than any 

 other sort. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. }i lb., $1.50 lb. 



Victoria Spinach 



Stands in prime condition long 

 after other varieties have bolted 

 to seed. The August and Septem- 

 ber sowings should receive special 

 attention as they are wanted to 

 supply the table during the coming 

 TOnter and early next spring. For 

 this purpose sow Victoria. The 

 soil should be well prepared using 

 soot and hme or other material to 

 hghten the soil if heavy. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c.
