Henderson's Long Season 

 Spinach 



May be Grown Continuously in any Home Garden. Remains 



Edible Longer tban any other Variety. The Best for Sowing in 



Spring and Summer for a Successional Supply. 



802. For many years the amateur gardener had poor success in 

 growing Spinach, owing to its aggravating habit of going to seed 

 just about the time it should be ready for use. The development 

 of a type showing a marked long-standing character has given ua 

 Henderson's Long Season Spinach, removing the only obstacle 

 to its general cultivation, so that there is now nothing to hinder 

 the least experienced from enjoying this wholesome vegetable 

 throughout the entire season. The plants are very hardy. 

 Seed sown in September will produce small plants, which, 

 with a slight covering of loose dry material, will be available 

 for use very early in the spring. 



The plant is small, with rich, lustrous 

 green leaves. These are short, broad, 

 very thick, and of so great substance, 

 that it loses bulk in cooking less than any 

 other sort. The leaf stems are very- 

 short, which so greatly reduces the dia- 

 meter of the plant that it may be 

 grown more closely than other varie- 

 ties, and the whole plant forms a com- 

 pact, dense rosette, perfect in color 

 and substance, and unequaled in flavor.

 Leaved Spinach 



810. The best sort for fall sow- 

 ing to winter over for spring cutt- 

 ing, being very hardy. It pro- 

 duces 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 engraving.)

Norfolk 



Savoy- Leaved 



Spinach 



808. 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.

Victoria Spinach 



812. Stands in prime condition long after other varieties have 

 bolted to seed. The August and September sowings should receive 

 special attention, as they are wanted to supply the table during the 

 coming winter and early next 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.
