—--—---—- - -——■ strain of this variety, and have no hesitancy in saying we consider it equal to, if not 
better than, all other varieties for forcing. Pkt. (15 seeds) 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 
S. £? W. Co.’s Forcing White Spine. This is a particularly refined type of the well-known outdoor White Spine. It is similar

will not, and it is therefore of more simple cultivation. Pkt. (25 seeds) 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.

March and transplanted, being treated like early cabbage. For a 
late crop, sowings in the open ground during July or August are 
usual. Plants should be at least 3 feet apart each way. Pkt. 10 cts., 
oz. 25 cts., Vilb. 60 cts., lb. $1.50. 
Culture. —Seed may be sown thinly in drills 18 inches apart in 
early spring, and sowings may be made later for succession as required, 
although late summer and early fall seedings are preferred. The 
young plants from the latest sowings are covered with a light mulch 
and wintered exactly as spinach is often managed. Rich soil is 
necessary.
