RADISHES 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet 
To get radishes in the open ground that are not “hot” the soil should 
be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as soon as the 
radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart 
and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. Dusting the ground with lime or 
of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep the flies out and prevent 
injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or first of Sep¬ 
tember much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and sum¬ 
mer, as they are not usually injured by maggots in the fall.

Spinat (Ger.) 
Icicle Radish 
SPINACH 
A packet of seed will sow 35 to 40 feet of row; M U>. 200 ft.; 20 pounds of seed an acre. 
Spinace (It.) 
Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use in 
four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to winter 
over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
very large and can be used from the first of September until the ground 
freezes. 
New Zealand spinach if sown early will stand hot weather well and 
give a constant supply of “greens” all summer and fall. 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. See next page. The finest 
spinach of the Savoy or blistered type. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 8c; V4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. $1.50. 
KING OF DENMARK. Named and introduced by us in 1920. This 
spinach not only grows fast and produces a large yield, but it stands 
longer without bolting to seed than any other variety. The leaves are 
broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat blistered. The remarkable 
long standing ability and the fine quality of King of Denmark make it 
one of the best varieties for the home as well as the commercial garden. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 8c; y 4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. $1.60. 
OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This new 
spinach is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of Denmark. 
It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and stands up 
longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. This variety yields well and 
should be very valuable for sowing in places where a spinach blights. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 8c; l/ 4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c; 5 Lbs. $1.80. 
NOBEL GIANT LEAVED 
This new spinach has proved a remarkably fine variety both for home 
and market. It is very early and is so large and grows so rapidly that it 
can be cut before the other kinds are ready. 11 will stand a long time with¬ 
out bolting to seed, even if the weather becomes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as other kinds, handsome dark green 
in color, quite thick, and smoother than the Savoy types. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 8c; y 4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. $1.50. 
BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. For Fall Sowing. A strain of 
Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy which is quite resistant to the blight or 
“yellows” which is destructive in some localities. A valuable variety in 
localities where blight injures fall spinach.

New Zealand Spinach 
This is not a true spinach, but the leaves resemble spinach leaves and 
are produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow 
during hot dry weather when other spinach would be useless. A few feet, 
of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; y 4 Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c; 5 Lbs. $2.40.
