RUTABAGAS 
SKIRVING’S PURPLE TOP. This is 
undoubtedly the hardest and finest of 
all the rutabagas, and owing to its 
great productiveness is the best for 
feeding purposes. Its flesh is yellow 
in color, sweet, fine grained and quite 
tender. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c. (For quan¬ 
tity prices see page 4). 
AMERICAN YELLOW. This is the 
best rutabaga for either table or stock 
use. The flesh is very firm. As a 
yielder the American Yellow is sur¬ 
passed only by the Skirving’s Purple 
Top, which is strictly a field rutabaga. 
Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; |4 lb., 25c; lb., 60c. 
WHITE FRENCH. A large, white 
market variety; sweet, smooth and 
solid. Good winter keeper. Pkg., 5c; 
oz., 10c; J4 lb., 30c; lb., 65c. 
SPINACH 
LONG STANDING. This variety 
while one of the older sorts is still one 
of the best. The leaves are broad, flat, 
arrow shaped and rich dark green. It 
is ready to cut early as most varieties 
and remains in season for quite a long 
time. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 20c; 
1 lb., 50c. 
IMPROVED THICK LEAVED. This 
variety grows very rapidly and forms 
a cluster of large slightly crumpled 
leaves of deep green color. Quality 
very excellent. Pkg. 5c; oz., 10c; 
■4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c. 
PRICKLY WINTER. This is one of 
the best of the market varieties owing 
to its extreme hardiness. It bears 
many large, smooth, arrow-pointed 
leaves. As a winter or very early 
spring variety it is unsurpassed. Pkg., 
5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 20c; lb., 50c. 
NEW ZEALAND. A very productive 
variety that will stand repeated cut¬ 
tings during the hot, dry weather of 
summer. It grows well on land that 
is too poor to grow common spinach. 
The seed of this variety is large and 
very hard and should be soaked in 
water for several hours before plant¬ 
ing. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c; J4 lb., 30c; 
1 lb., 75c. 
BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. This sort 
is a very early variety and one of the 
best to plant in the autumn for early 
spring use. The plant is of upright 
growth, with thick, glossy, dark green 
leaves of medium size. They are 
pointed but quite broad and crumpled 
or blistered like Savoy Cabbage. It is 
hardy and of rapid growth, but is not 
suitable for hot weather. A fine va¬ 
riety for the home garden. Pkg., 5c; 
oz., 10c; |4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c. 
KING OF DENMARK. This new 
spinach is undoubtedly the finest va¬ 
riety introduced in recent years. The 
leaves resemble Long Standing but 
are more crumpled and dark green. 
This variety generally stays in good 
condition a week or two longer than 
any other kind. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; 
|4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 50c.
