the spring and at intervals until June 1st for succession. For fall, sow from August 15th 
to October 5th. If planted in rows, make the rows 1 foot apart. 
RE-SELECTED BLOOMSDALE SAVOY: (40 days). This wonderful spinach is used 
more than any other variety and is especially a favorite among market growers be¬ 
cause of its fine appearance, hardiness and all around good quality. It is a very early 
sort and the best for fall planting. However, if planted early in the spring, it produces 
excellent spinach.Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 20c; 1 lb. 35c

heat and adverse conditions and supply plenty of green leaves through the summer 
and fall. The seed is planted in rows 3 feet apart, dropping the seeds every 4 or 5 
inches. May be planted in hills 2 feet apart each way,
