SPINACH SEED 
Spinach is one of the most important sources of vitamins. 
It is included in all healthful diets, and is absolutely neces¬ 
sary to the general health and development of small children. 
When properly cooked and prepared for table, it is a most 
palatable dish.

CULTURE—One ounce to 60 feet of drill. For an early summer 
crop, sow early in the spring, in drills, 1 foot apart, and thin out to 
2 inches in the row. For winter and early spring crop, sow either 
broadcast or in drills about the first of September to December 15. 
FOR FIELDS—Sow broadcast, 15 to 20 pounds to acre, ready in 
8 weeks, produces enormously and is becoming one of the South’s 
best quick money crops. Write for prices in quantities. 
359—DARK GREEN BLOOMSDALE (Savoy Leaved) (50 Days) — 
An improvement over Reselected Bloomsdale in that it is darker 
green, more crumpled and blistered, and is almost as early as 
the Reselected Bloomsdale, maturing only about 2 or 3 days later. 
Due to the reduced proportion of early bolting male plants, it is 
slower in running to seed than Reselected Bloomsdale. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 14 lb.. 25c; 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.65 
359A—RESELECTED BLOOMSDALE OR SAVOY LEAVED (45 
Days)—Leaves well rounded, much crumpled and blistered, 
glossy, and of a deep green color. Matures early, but bolts to 
seed rather quickly. Recommended for planting in the fall for 
early spring use. It is used extensively by both market and 
home gardeners, and is of high quality. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.50 
359B—LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE (Savoy Leaved) (50 
Days)—Very longstanding. Leaves are intensely crumpled and 
blistered, glossy, of a dark green color, and well rounded. 
Reaches marketable size a little later than the Reselected and 
the Dark Green Bloomsdale, but will remain in good condition 
from 8 to 12 days longer, due to the almost total absence of 
early shooting male plants. Developed from a single plant selec¬ 
tion by Zwaan and Van Der Molen of Holland. 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
359C—BLIGHT RESISTANT BLOOMSDALE (45 Days) — The 
true Virginia Savoy strain, very resistant to the Mosaic disease, 
popularly known as “yellows” or “blight.” Matures earlier 
than any other Savoy Leaved Spinach, is well crumpled, and 
rims very uniform. Color, dark green. Bolts to seed very early 
and is, on this account, decidedly not a “hot weather” spinach. 
Should not be planted until after the middle of August in the 
vicinity of Memphis, although in some sections very good re¬ 
sults are obtained with very early spring sowings. Recom¬ 
mended as a “winter spinach,” being resistant to comparatively 
low temperatures. 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25 
361—NEW ZEALAND (55 Days)—Grows 114 feet high and, if 
transplanted, 2 or 3 feet; will produce an abundant crop in the 
hot weather, when the ordinary spinach cannot be had. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.75 
SQUASH SEED 
363—GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK (65 Days)—The con¬ 
venient straight shape of this squash makes it superior to the 
old crookneck from which it was selected. However, it has kept 
the warty creamy-gold skin, the large size, the fine quality, and 
the earliness of the parent squash. The plants are bushy in 
type, vigorous growing and productive. Our stock of this variety 
will produce a maximum of straightneck fruits. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; 14 lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50 
368—EARLY WHITE BUSH (60 Days)—The well known White 
Scalloped Squash. One of the earliest to mature; very pro¬ 
ductive; skin and flesh a light cream color. Similar to Mammoth 
White Bush, except finer grained and not so large. A very popu¬ 
lar variety for shipment to Northern markets from Florida, as 
well as being a general favorite for home gardeners everywhere. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50

moth White Bush. This is a splendid yellow variety to plant.
