A New Spinach Long Standing Savoy Leaved 



Spinach — Long Standing Savoy Leaved — New 



In appearance of plant this new strain is much like Savoy Leaved or Bloomsdale. It shows the erect habit of 

 Savoy Leaved but the leaves are a little larger and thicker, more crumpled, more heavily savoyed, and curl down- 

 ward a little more. The leaf stems are a little shorter, making the plant more compact. The color is an attractive 

 medium dark green. The most important feature of this new strain is that it remains for a long time in condition 

 for use before bolting to seed. In our trials this stood through a protracted spell of dry hot weather which quickly 

 caused the other samples of Savoy Leaved to bolt. This is about a week later than Savoy Leaved and should prove 

 a very desirable sort to plant for succession. {See further description, page §4.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 20c;

Spinach — King of Denmark 



Also kno^vn as "Antvorskov** 



This variety has within the few years since its introduction taken its place as one of the leading varieties of 

 Spinach. It has proven equally satisfactory for either the home or market garden and we urge you to give it 

 a trial if you have not already done so. Although the plants are readv for use almost as soon as the medium 

 early sorts they remain in good condition from a week to two weeks after all other varieties have gone to seed.

Squash — Mammoth Summer Crookneck 



The summer squash is probably the surest growing of the many kinds of cultivated vine crops. Being very 

 vigorous, they resist the attacks of striped beetle while the plants are young and are almost immune from the 

 squash bug when mature. 



One of the best of the summer squashes is the Mammoth Summer Crookneck. The fruits are true crookneck 

 in shape and' when ripe are the largest of the crookneck sorts, often exceeding two feet in length. Since the summer 

 squashes are usually gathered for use while immature, the Mammoth Summer Crookneck will be found to produce 

 fruits of a size suitable for use in advance of other sorts. We have brought our stock of this desirable variety to a 

 high standard of purity, and it will be found to run exceptionally even in size, color and shape. {See illustration 

 and further description on page 55.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50. 



Squash — Delicious 



Although nearly all of the better known varieties of winter squash are similar to Hubbard in shape Delicious is 

 different. It is medium in size, eight to ten inches across and ten to twelve inches long, rounding or slightly 

 flattened at stem end. It tapers evenly to a point at blossom end forming an almost perfect top shape. 



The fruits are usually very dark green but sometimes a trifle lighter and slightly mottled, and are without wart- 

 ing although faintly pitted. Delicious has no shell and although the outer coat is not very thick it is hard and 

 strong when fruits are mature. Being without the heavy shell of other winter sorts, there is much less waste in 

 cooking. The flesh is thick, very fine grained and smooth, and a rich orange yellow in color. VVe have found that 

 Delicious will cook up mealy and dry even when apparently quite immature. Delicious combines comparative 

 earliness with unsurpassed quality. {See cut and further description, page 56.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Qz. 25c;
