CULTURE. This is an important marltet gardener's crop, of easy etil- 

 ture. For spring and summer use sow either broadcast or in drills 1 foot 

 apart and 1 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 Sep- 

 tember 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,

 vigor of growth and far outylelds any other variety. After 

 many years of tireless effort at breeding we are pleased to

 cts., postpaid; 10 lbs. at 22 cts, lb.; 25 lbs. at 20 cts. lb.; 50

 than any other blight resistant type. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15

 sistant. Its growth is rapid and leaf is properly curled,

600. Princess Juliana. Holland is the home of Spin- 

 ach and this, the finest variety of spinach yet introduced, 

 was named in honor of Princess Juliana, the daughter of 

 Holland's famous queen. The Princess Juliana is of the long 

 season type with large, crumpled, rich, dark green leaves. 

 It ia valuable for either Spring or Autumn planting. It is 

 absolutely without male plants which is the cause of its stand- 

 ing so long without shooting to seed. We believe that 

 Princess Juliana Spinach will become the most popular va- 

 riety 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 

 others sort. Pkt. 5 cts.; 2 ozs. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 40 

 cts., postpaid; 10 lbs., 30 cts. lb.; 25 lbs. at 25 cts, lb.; 100 

 lbs., 18 cts. lb., not postpaid.
