CULTURE — Watermelons thrive best in warm 

 latitudes, although in warm, sandy soils in the 

 latitude of New York fine crops are often obtained. 

 Cultivate exactly as for Muskmelons. Hills should 

 be eight feet apart. One oz. for 30 hills.

803 MUSTARD SPINACH 



An Entirely New Vegetable Recently 

 Introduced 



It has a most delicious flavor peculiarly 

 its own, and combines in itself the qual- 

 ities of both Spinach and Mustard. 



It makes an excellent spinach grown 

 in the same way, and it has the ad- 

 vantage over any other plant used for 

 greens, because it is ready for the table 

 in from three to three and one-half weeks 

 from planting the seed. 



A continuous supply for the table may 

 be had by making successive sowings, 

 because it flourishes during hot weather, 

 as well as in moderate periods when 

 ordinary varieties of spinach fail to 

 grow. 



Chemical analysis shows this plant to 

 have abundant protein, mineral matter, 

 lime and iron. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; K lb., 60c; 

 lb., $1.25. 



The preparation of the soil for the vege- 

 table garden — starting the seed — culti- 

 vation and storing are all fully covered
