early planting outdoors. Gives entire satis¬ 
faction where extreme earliness and 3mall 
top are not the chief considerations. Roots 
slightly flattened on the underside; color very 
deep scarlet, with a distinct white tip; flesh 
white and of the best quality. Pkt,. 5c; oz..

NEW ZEALAND, OR SUMMER SPINACH—Absolutely distinct in form, 
color and habit from other Spinach—it is not a Spinach, though used as a 
Spinach. Foliage thick, succulent, dark green, never sunburns, a true heat 
resistant; leaves covered with water globules like an ice plant. Slow to ger¬ 
minate. Excessive heat does not check its growth, but it positively grows 
more luxuriantly, the driest weather never stopping its juicy and rapid 
growth. A most desirable vegetable. Rows should never be less than 2 feet 
apart. Plants should be thinned to 4 to 5 inches apart. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
Vt lb., 30c; Vs lb., 45c; lb., 75c, postpaid.
