SPINACH— Continued. 



New Zealand, First cutting 50 days after sowing, and 

 continuously for 100 days more.-^^^J;^^^^^^^^^^ 



tirely distinct family, but being used only the same as Spinach, is, for convenience, put 

 in the Spinach class. Absolutely distinct 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 continuously over a period of 100 days sends out a fresh 

 growth. The plants spread five times as wide and rise 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
