\ RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEED/ 



Espinard, Fr. 



SPINACH 



Espinaca, Sp. 

 Spinal, Ger. 



CULTURE - For spring and summer use sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked, and every 

 two weeks up to May 15th, for a succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September in well-manured ground; cover with straw 

 on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich. No Spinach, with the exception of New Zealand will "stand" 

 August heat without "shooting" seed stalks. Water liberally with fine spray or sprinkler after sowing seed. One ounce for 100 feet 

 Of drill. 



844 Long Season. Sowings of this variety can be 

 made in early spring and followed monthly with 

 further sowings, and the crop will be continuous 

 throughout the entire summer. The leaves are a 

 rich dark green color, very thick, crumpled, and 

 of splendid quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts- 

 Jib., 25 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 



847 New Zealand (Telragonia expansa). Not related 

 to the regular Spinaches, but this should be more 

 widely grown, as it stands all summer and produces 

 a continuous supply of good quality leaves. Forms 

 large, spreading plants, five to eight feet across, 

 during summer and early fall, from seeds sown 

 during April. Soak seed in warm water for a few 

 hours before sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts • 

 i lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



851 Savoy, Dreer's Reselected. An early and 

 hardy spinach, with large broad leaves, heavily

 green. We offer a special strain which is very fine.

 page 5.) Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., 85 cts. 



842 King of Denmark. An ideal variety for spring sowing, in the 

 home garden, as plants are very slow to run to seed. Strong vigor-

 dark green, crumpled leaves. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb.,

 spring or fall variety bearing very large smooth 

 leaves, measuring up to 10 inches in length and

 canning sort as its smooth leaves are easily 

 washed free from sand and grit. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 



854 Victoria. Plants are very compact with numer- 

 ous leaves of fine texture, deepest green color,
