60 EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN—Vesgetable Seeds 
New Zealand Spinach 
The Cut and Come Again Spinach. Best for Hot Weather 
Yields Continuously from Early Summer to Late Fall 
806. The New Zealand Spinach is a valuable addition to the sum- 
mer supply of edible greens, the beneficial effects of which are so 
well known that it is needless to add further comment. 
During the hot summer months, when ordinary Spinach bolts 
and goes to seed, the New Zealand Spinach is at its best. It thrives 
on almost any soil and withstands drought wonderfully well. 
The plant is bushy in form, and produces great quantities of 
succulent, rich green leaves of a delightful delicate flavor. As the 
tops are cut off, side shoots develop and in a few days another crop 
may be cut. Hence the appellation Cut and Come Again Spinach. 
The seed should be sown outdoors after there is no longer danger 
from frost, in rows from 2% to 3 feet apart, covering the seed about 
one inch. When the plants are a few inches high they should be 
thinned out, so that at the final thinning the plants stand fully 
twelve inches apart. 
For an early crop start the seed indoors during March and trans- 
plant the seedlings to the open ground after danger from frost is 
past. (See engraving.) Price, 10e. pkt., 25¢. 0z., 65e. 14 Ib., $1.50 Ib. 
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 Cab- 
bage. It is largely grown in 
the South for winter and 
early spring 
erops. If 
sown in the 
spring it 
must be cut 
as soon as 
ready, as it

Henderson’s 
Thick-Leaved Spinach 
810. The best sort for fall 
sowing to winter over for 
spring cutting, being very 
hardy. It produces large, 
thick, bright green crum- 
pled 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.

King of Denmark Spinach 
801. This is a variety of 
comparatively recent in- 
troduction, and seems des- 
tined to supplant older 
varieties for spring sowing; 
because it is extremely 
slow to go to seed. 
It is very dwarf, and 
makes a wonderfully quick 
growth, setting an abun- 
dance of dark green tender 
leaves, distinctively crum- 
pled. Itis ready for cutting as soon as other varieties and 
we think it a great addition to the list of vegetable 
greens. Price, 10c. pkt., 20e. oz., 40¢. %4 Ib., $1.00 Ib. ©
