No. 946 — Victoria 



Days to Maturity, 50. Origin is unknown to us. Probably 

 selected from "Late Seeding" or "Longstander" mentioned by 

 Vilmorin in 1885. This variety will stand from 2 to 3 weeks before 

 shooting to seed. The leaves are round, dark green in color and 

 slightly wrinkled. The plant is compact and large in size. A 

 desirable variety for home garden and commercial planting. Pkt. 

 10c, oz. 15c, \i lb. 35c, 1 lb. $1.00, postpaid. 



No. 944 — Long Season 



Days to Maturity, 50. A savoy-leaved variety introduced by 

 Henderson in 1903. It is especially well adapted to cultivation in 

 hot weather, as it will not shoot to seed as will the Bloomsdale 

 Savoy. It is beautifully curled, of a dark green color, very compact, 

 and spreading in a large rosette. The leaves are beautifully 

 crumpled, which adds much to their attractiveness. Long Season 

 may be classed with Victoria as both of them are hot weather 

 varieties. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, y± lb. 35c, 1 lb. $1.00, postpaid.

Prickly Seeded Summer Spinach 



No. 948— New Zealand 



(Tetragonia expansa) 



Days to Maturity, 60. The origin of this plant is New Zealand, 

 hence its name. It is not strictly of the spinach family. As a sort 

 which will thrive in hot weather and on any kind of soil, this is un- 

 paralleled. The tender shoots are of excellent quality, and may 

 be cut throughout the summer. The plant will spread over two feet. 

 The leaves are quite small, broad and pointed. We recommend 



planting three to four seeds in hills, three feet apart each way. 

 The germination of New Zealand Spinach, which is a prickly seeded 

 variety, may be helped along by soaking in lukewarm water for a 

 day before planting. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, % lb. 65c, 1 lb. $2.00, 

 postpaid.
