SPINACH 



The Best Varieties 



For Spring Sowing 



Henderson's Long Season Spinach. 



§PINACH quickly runs to seed in hot weather. 

 With this variety, it may now be contin- 

 uously grown . It forms a dense rosette of thick, 

 tender, crumpled leaves of intensely dark green color; 

 their great substance and short leaf stalks enable 

 them to " stand up " in hot weather. There is no 

 other variety that will stand so long without running 

 to seed and remain in an edible condition. (See cut?) 

 Price 5c. oz., 10c. \ lb., 25c. lb. 



VICTORIA. A dwarf, compact variety, with 

 heavy, broad, deep green leaves, as crumpled as 

 Savoy; of fine, succulent quality; it stands in prime 

 condition long after other varieties have bolted to 

 seed, rendering it especially valuable for spring sow- 

 ing and summer use. Price 5c. oz., 10c. 1 lb., 16c. lb., 

 $14.00 per 100 lbs. 



SPINACH 



The Best Varieties 

 for Fall Sowing. 



Henderson's Thick-Leaved Spinach. The best sort 

 for fall sowing to winter over for spring cutting, being very 

 hardy. It produces large, thick, bright green crumpled 

 leaves of fine quality, yielding a heavy crop, and is one 

 of the best market sorts. It is also much used for spring 

 sowing, being slow to run to seed and standing the heat 

 well until about the middle of June. (See cut.) Price 5c. 

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



NORFOLK SAVOY-LEAVED SPINACH. A very popular 

 variety to sow for the late fall cutting. It is quick grow- 

 ing and a heavy cropper, producing large, fleshy, dark 

 green leaves as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage. 

 It is largely grown in the South for winter and early 

 spring crops. If sown in the spring it must be cut as 

 soon as ready, as it quickly runs to seed. Price 5c. oz., 

 10c. \ lb., 16c. lb., $14.00 per 100 lbs. 



Mammoth Sandwich Island. 



ONE 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 

 November, thus keeping them plump and 

 sweet, to be sold during the winter. (See 

 cut.) Price 15c. oz., 35c. \ lb., $1.00 lb.
