Spinach 
Dreer’s Round-seeded Savoy. An extra fine 
strain of this exceptionally early and hardy spinach, 
with large broad leaves, heavily crimped and curled, 
and of a rich, glossy, dark green. A very desirable 
sort for spring and fall sowing, always being reliable 
and sure to produce large healthy growth most suit- 
able for canning. For a Summer Spinach to follow 
this we recommend our Victoria, offered below. Pkt.,

to seed and produce an immense growth of large 
dark green, crumpled leaves, an especially good sort 
for the small garden. Pkt., 10 cts.3 oz., 15 cts.;

more widely grown, as it stands all summer and pro-

Not related to the regular Spinaches, but forms large, 
spreading plants from seeds sown during April. 
Soak seed in warm water for a few hours before 
sowing. Pkt., 10 ets.; 0z., 15 ets.; } lb., 40 cts.;

thick and of a bright yellow color; fine grained and
