New Zealand Spinach 
SPINACH 
With the exception of our Perpetual and 
New Zealand, Spinach can be successfully 
grown only during cool weather — in early 
spring or late fall. Sow in drills 1 foot or 
more apart as early as the ground can be 
worked, and, for succession, until May 1, 
and again the latter part of August until 
September 15. To produce large leaves and 
luxuriant growth, good soil is necessary. The 
best Spinach seed is growni in France and 
Holland. The seed production last year in 
these countries was far below normal, and 
while we have a good supply of seed, we 
advise placing orders for Spinach early.

TWO FINE SPINACHES FOR USE DURING SUMMER 
Schling's Perpetual Summer Spinach. Here is a real Spinach that will grow well 
. — — ' — and furnish an abundant supply of 
bpmach all through the summer. It is not a Swiss chard or anything like it; it grows close to the ground and 
produces an abundance of dark green leaves. Immediately after one gathering has been made, fresh leaves 
appear and a constant supply of Spinach is kept up throughout the summer and autumn months. Do not 
fail to plant a row of it in your garden. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., }4lh. $1.50. 
NEW ZEALAND SPINACH. Another fine variety for summer and fall use. It differs from the true Spinach 
in that it forms vines 2 to 3 feet long from which the thick, fleshy, dark green leaves can be picked continuously 
throughout the summer; grows well in the hottest weather. Plant in hills a foot apart; seeds should be soaked in 
hot water over night before planting, as the shell is very hard. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., Hlb. §1.

and the running sorts from 6 to 8 feet apart. They may also be planted in corn-hills.
