SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED 



SPINACH— Continued 



Victoria, 50 Days.— A sort continuing long before shooting to seed; dark-leaved, 

 compact growth. Valuable— try it. Is excellent as a succession. 



New Zealand, First cut- 



ting 50 days after ^ 

 sowing, and continu- 

 ously for 100 days 



more. — Absolutely dis- 

 tinct in form, color and habit. 

 Foliage thick, succulent, dark 

 green, never sunburns, a true 

 heat resistant, leaves covered 

 with water globules like an ice- 

 plant. Later to mature for table 

 than Spinach of usual form, but 

 remaining in edible condition 

 ten times as long. A sort to 

 "cut and come again," as it is 

 most productive, and continu- 

 ously over a period of 100 days ^ 

 sends out a fresh growth. The 

 plants spread five times as wide 

 and rise to three times the height 

 of ordinary Spinach, making a 

 difference of fifteen to twenty 

 times excess in the volume of edible material. Excessive heat does not check 

 its growth, but to the contrary it positively grows more luxuriantly, the driest 

 weather never stopping its juicy and rapid growth. In flavor and color it is 

 fully the equal of the best Spinach and is in season when ordinary Spinach is not 

 obtainable, _ and with epicures will undoubtedly be considered very choice. 

 No garden is complete without the New Zealand Spinach. Remains in cutting 

 condition throughout the hottest summer months when the true Spinach is 

 nowhere obtainable, and remains in cutting condition until killed by frost
