Spinach 
CULTURE—Sow thinly in rows 12 or 15 inches apart covering the seed 
about one half-inch; thin the plants to four inches apart in the row. The 
main crop is sown in August and September. It is sometimes. covered 
up in cold localities with straw or salt meadow hay during winter, but in 
sheltered fields there is no necessity for covering. For summer use it may 
be sown at intervals of two or three weeks, from Aprilto June. Spinach 
develops best and is most tender and succulent when grown in pich soil 
and in cool weather; during the hot summer months it usually bolts to 
seed. 1 oz. for 100 feet of row. 
A New Crumpled-Leaf Spinach 
Princess Juliana 
Large, Crumpled Dark Green Leaves, Suitable for 
Summer or Autumn Planting. First Offered to Our 
Customers in 1925 
809. The virtues of Spinach as a blood purifying health 
food is known to all; and it is also a well known axiom— 
that we are only as healthy as the blood that courses 
through our veins. If the blood is in a pure and healthy 
condition results are seen in a beautiful and glowing com- 
plexion. The consumption of Spinach reaches far greater 
proportions per capita in Holland, than in any other 
country; and, to this fact may be attributed the superb 
radiant complexions for which the Dutch are justly famed. 
Much work toward the improvement of Spinach has * 
been conducted by the plant breeders of Holland, and on 
the development of this, the finest variety of Spinach yet ~ 
produced, it was named in honor of Princess Juliana, the 
daughter of Holland’s famous queen. 
The Princess Juliana Spinach is of the long season type 
with large, crumpled, rich dark green leaves. It is valuable 
either for spring or autumn planting. After testing this new variety at our trial grounds for several years, we are convinced 
that the Princess Juliana Spinach will become the most popular variety on the market, not only for its rapid, uniform growth 
and delicious and tempting flavor; but also because it remains in prime condition longer before bolting to seed than any 
other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 15e. pkt., 30c. oz., 75¢. %4 Ib., $2.00 Ib. 
Henderson’s Long Season Spinach 
May be Grown Continuously in any Home Garden. Remains Edible Longer Than 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 us 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 Sep- 
tember will produce small plants, which, with a 
_slight covering of loose dry material, will be avail- 
able 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 diameter of the plant 
that it may be grown more closely 
than other varieties, and the whole 
plant forms a compact, dense 
rosette, perfect in color and sub- 
stance, and unequaled in flavor.

“In trying to select a good Spinach for 
spring sowing I have come to the conclusion 
that Henderson’s ‘Long Season’ Spinach is 
the best. Please send me the lowest price on 
700 pounds.” .
