Six Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Thirty Pounds to the Acre. Edible in 40 to 60 Days. 



This seed may be sown late in Autumn or in the Spring when the Peach is in hloom. 



Bloomsdale, 40 days. — The Landreths introduced and 



named this variety in 1828, since when it has become a standard and now 

 appears in nearly all catalogues. As an Autumn sort it is superior to all others, 

 but in the Spring it is inclined to shoot early. The leaves are twisted and 

 bloated, giving them when ready for shipment an elasticity adapting them for 

 transportation to long distances and at the same time giving the crop large 

 measuring qualities. As a consequence more barrels of Bloomsdale Spinach are 

 ' cut to the acre than any other variety, often as much as 150 barrels. Crop short.. 

 Round Seeded Savoy Leaved 50 



Ever Keady, 50 days. — So named because it continues in 



cutting condition three weeks longer than the latest. A variety of most superior 

 qualities; leaves dark in color, more pointed, short-jointed, resisting cold 

 and the most intense heat. Decidedly the best for spring sowing 70 



Large Leaved Flanders. — A habit of growing erect, consequently does not collect 



the sand; broad, dark, fiat-ieaved 70 



Lonj Season, 50 days. — Leaves dark in color, almost black; savoyed, thick, 

 succulent and tender. Slow to shoot to seed; consequently remaining long 

 in cutting condition. Stronger and more desirable than the Victoria 70 



Long Standing Round Seed, Thick Leaved, 45 days. — A prostrate variety of 

 thick leaves and dark color. Slow to shoot to seed, and valuable for that reason..

sowing, and continu-

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 w T ide 

 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. A most desirable vegetable.. $ 



Thick Leaved. — A prostrate variety, very succulent. Leaves very dark 



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

 compact growth. Valuable — try it. 13 excellent as a succession 



Viroflay, 48 days (monstrous leaved). — A mammoth sort of fair quality, used 

 largely in Europe. Requires high manuring
