F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., 



One ounce for 100 feet of drill. 



SPINACH. 



10 to 12 pounds in drills for an acre. 



This is an important market gardener's crop, of easy culture. For spring and summer use, sow either 

 broadcast or in drills, one foot apart and one inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked, and every two 

 weeks for a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September, in well-manured ground ; cover 

 with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich ; the stronger the ground 

 the more delicate and succulent will be the leaves.

 Savoy Spinach. 



True Bloomsdale Curled Savoy Spinach. 



Fifteen pounds to the acre. Many thou- 

 sands of acres find profitable employment 

 in growing spinach, and no crop pays bet- 

 ter. Our stock Curled Savoy Spinach was 

 the truest and most beautiful in the market. 

 Its growth is rapid, the leaf is properly 

 curled, which gives it a very attractive ap- 

 pearance, and causes it to measure betterjj 

 than other sorts, and makes it the favorite 

 with the largest growers. Packet, 5 cents : 

 % pound, 10 cents ; pound, 15 cents.

 to the barrel. They are fine. Your stock of Spinach has pleased me for a 

 number of years, and I expect to continue the use of it.
