MUSTARD SPINACH Sometimes offered as Ten- 

 dergreen. This new quick growing vegetable is of 

 Japanese origin ready for cutting 25 to 30 days from 

 sowing; withstands summer heat and also resistant to 

 cold and insect pests. The leaves are large 

 oblong dark green color, with a small center 

 rib, prepared for the table same as Spinach. 

 A continuous supply may be produced 

 throughout the entire season by suc- 

 cessive sowings, because it flourishes 

 during hot weather — when ordinary 

 Spinach will not grow — as well as 

 during the moderate periods. 



This should prove a money maker 

 especially where a local trade or 

 roadside stand will serve as an out- 

 let, as it possesses great food and 

 tonic values. (See engraving.) 



Price, oz. 10c, }4 lb. 20c, lb. 60c, 

 10 1b. lots @ 55c lb.
