vise by all means to plant in autumn Bloomsdale 
Spinach as it is by far the best of all autumn va¬ 
rieties. 
BLOOMSDALE RESELECTED. (40 days). No 
Spinach is so well known as this variety and we 
are safe in saying that more of this variety is sold 
and planted than any other variety. As an autumn 
sort it is superior to all others. The leaves are 
twisted and very dark green, giving them an elas¬ 
ticity adapting them for transportation over long 
distances and at the same time giving the crop 
large measuring qualities. Pkt., 10c; lb., 35c; 5 lbs., 
$1.50; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $20.00, postpaid. 
DARKBLOOM. (40 days). A new member of the 
Bloomsdale family. Exceptionally dark green 
leaves of extra good keeping quality. Well savoyed 
and bulky, it has that “fresh” appearance at all 
times. Good for spring or fall. Pkt., 10c; lb., 35c; 
5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $20.00, postpaid. 
Sow when the cherry is in bloom, in drills, in deeply 
dug and well-manured ground; the drills should be 
18 inches apart. When the plants are up a few 
inches weed and thin them so as t@ stand 1 to 2 
inches. Preserve in pits, same as carrots or beets. 
Cultivate as for carrot.

riety superior to the French sort, producing 
smoother, larger and more vigorous roots, foliage 
stronger. Often called “vegetable oyster.” Pkt., 10c;
