THIS is quite an Important crop with market garden- 

 ers, and one easily managed. 

 For summer use, sow early in spring, in drills 

 eight inches to one foot apart, covering the seed one Inch 

 deep. Select rich soil and manure liberally. A succession 

 may be obtained by sowing at intervals of two weeks 

 through the season. For very early spring use sow in August, 

 and protect the plants through the winter by a thick cov- 

 ering of clean straw or some similar light covering. Spin- 

 ach is used principally as greens for boiling, and is very 

 highly esteemed for this purpose.

C <fe T. CO.'S EXTR.\ CURLED AMERICAN GROWN SAVOY SPINACH. — This 

 Is grown especially for us, and is without exception the best type of Savoy 

 Spinach in existence. It is beautifully curled and wrinkled, the leaves large, 

 thick and heavy, produced in great numbers, and stands handling and trans- 

 portation better than any other sort; in fact, we hardly think we could say too 

 much about this valuable acquisition to the spinach family. Sold only in 

 sealed bags. Pkt., 5c. V4 lb., 15c. Lb., 30ci 



VICTORIA SPINACH. — This new spinach comes to us with the highest recom- 

 mendations from the growers. The foliage is heavy, the broad, dark green 

 leaves being of the true Savoy appearance and of the finest quality; but the 

 most remarkable feature that will make it of special value, both for market 

 and family gardens, is the fact that it is in prime condition from two weeks 

 to three weeks after all other varieties of spinach have run to seed.
