..SPINACH.. 



The Best Varieties for Spring Sowing. 



Henderson's Long Season Spinach. 



CP1NACH is most extensively grown during the winter 

 J and spring months for the reason that the plant* 



quickly run to seed in hot weather. With our new Long 

 Season variety, Spinach may now be continuously grown 

 not only during cool weather months, but in the summer as 

 well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender, crumpled 

 leaves of intensely dark green color: their great sub- 

 stance and short leaf stalks enable them to " stand up " in 

 hot weather, retaining their freshness for a long period 

 after cutting. There is no other variety that will stand 

 so long without running to seed and remain in an ed ; blr 

 condition. Price 10c. oz., 15c. Jib., 35c. lh, S30.00 p r 100 

 lbs. 



VICTORIA. A dwarf, compact variety, with heavy, 

 broad, deep green leaves, as crumpled as Savoy: of fine, 

 succulent quality; it stands in prime condition lone after 

 other varieties have bolted to seed, rendering; it especially 

 valuable for spring sowing and summer use. Price 5c. 

 oz., 10c } lb., 16c. lb.. $14.00 per 100 lbs. 



Mammoth Sandwich Island. 



Y*^VE of the most delicious of winter 

 ^"^ vegetables, and also one of the most 

 nutritious. 



This new variety, where known, is en- 

 tirely superseding the old type, as it pro- 

 duces roots nearly double the size and weight 

 and of equally good quality. Seed sown in 

 spring produces large, fine roots that may 

 remain in the ground all winter or may be 

 dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem- 

 ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, 

 to be sold during the winter. (See cut.'
