SPINACH 
CONTINUED 
OLD DOMINION A new blight resistant sort, a cross between 
Blight Resistant Savoy and King of Denmark, by the Virginia 
Experiment Station. The leaves are a dark bluish green deeply 
bloated, thick and well rounded. Superior to Blight Resistant 
Savoy in that it is slow to seed. Stands shipping well. Is best 
adapted to sowing in late fall for an early spring crop; not rec¬ 
ommended for a fall or mid-winter crop, however, as it is a 
slow grower. Oz., 5c; Ya lb., 10c; lb., 35c; 100 lbs., $30.00. 
WOODRUFF'S HOT WEATHER A new variety resembling Victoria in 
general appearance, but larger and somewhat rounder leaved. It is 
ready soon after the earliest varieties and will stand without bolting 
two weeks longer. Hot weather has little effect on this spinach, it 
being superior to King of Denmark in this respect. Oz., 5c; *4 lb., 10c; 
lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
JULIANA This is of the Long Season type, having a large, beautiful 
crumpled leaf. The color is a very rich dark green. Juliana is re¬ 
markable for its rapid, uniform growth, and because it stands hot 
weather without bolting to seed longer than other sorts. Fine for 
either spring or fall planting. Oz., 5c; lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20. 
Not a true spinach, unlike spinach in that it thrives during hot weather 
and in almost any soil, rich or poor. The tender shoots are of excellent quality and may be cut throughout the 
summer. The plant becomes very large and spreading, with comparatively small leaves. Plant three or 
four seeds in hills two feet apart each way. Germination is very slow, and can be hastened somewhat by 
soaking in warm water for 24 hours. Oz., 5c; Ya lb., 15c; lb., 40c; 100 lbs., $35.00. 
MUSTARD SPINACH A new vegetable of Oriental origin, being in fact a very mild mustard with a creamy 
spinach flavor. Grows a spray of broad, flat, smooth, rounded leaves. If to be used as spinach, these 
should be cut when about 5 inches long, which is usually in about 25 days. In the South, many prefer 
to use them like turnip greens, which requires only a little more growth. Oz., 5c; Ya lb., 15c; lb., 40c.

NEW ZEALAND (Tetragonia expansa) 
HOLLANDIA (Prickly Seeded) Me¬

and is rather slow to seed. Ex¬

week after some varieties have 
shot to seed. Oz., 5c ; Ya lb., 10c ; 
lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $20.00.
