The Best Varieties for Spring Sowing. 



HENDERSON'S LONG SEASON SPINACH. 



CPINACH is most extensively grown during the winter 

 and spring months for the reason that the plants 

 quickly run to seed in hot weather. With our new Long 

 Season variety, Spinach may now be continuously grown 

 not only during cool weather months, but in the summer as 

 well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender, crumpled 

 leaves of intensely dark green color; their great sub- 

 stance and short leaf stalks enable them to " stand up " in 

 hot weather, retaining their freshness for a long period 

 after cutting. There is no other variety that will stand 

 so long without running to seed and remain in an edible 

 condition. 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 45c. lb. 



VICTORIA. A dwarf, compact variety, with heavy, 

 broad, deep green leaves, as crumpled as Savoy; of fine, 

 succulent quality; it stands in prime condition long after 

 other varieties have bolted to seed, rendering it especially 

 valuable for spring sowing and summer use. 5c. oz., 10c. 

 \ lb., 16c. lb., $14.00 per 100 lbs. 





Mammoth Sandwich Island. 



ANE of the most delicious of winter 

 ^^ vegetables, and also one of the most 

 nutritious. 



This new variety, where known, is en- 

 tirely superseding the old type, as it pro- 

 duces roots nearly double thf size and weight 

 and of equally good quality. Seed sown in 

 spring produces large, fine roots that may 

 remain in the ground all winter or may be 

 dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem- 

 ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, 

 to be sold during the winter. (See cut.) 

 15c. oz., 30c. i lb., $1.00 lb.

SPINAGH. 



Best Varieties for 

 Fall Sowing. 



HENDERSON'S THICK-LEAVED. The best sort for 

 fall sowing to winter over for spring cutting, being very 

 hardy. It produces large, thick, bright green crumpled 

 leaves of fine quality, yielding a heavy 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 cut.) 5c. oz., 

 10c. i lb., 16c. lb., $14.00 per 100 lbs. 



NORFOLK SAVOY-LEAVED. A very popular 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. 5c. oz., 10c. \ lb., 16c. lb., 

 $14.00 per 100 lbs.
