“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS.

EPINARD SPINACH SPINACE 
t 
Princess Juliana Spinach 
Sow spinach as early as possible in the spring. 
It takes about four to five weeks to mature. For 
use in the fall sow August 1 and to winter over, 
sow in September. Spinach runs to seed very 
quickly in dry, hot weather so to avoid having the 
crop mature too quickly avoid planting in the hot 
season. Fall spinach grows to a large size and may 
be used until the ground freezes. 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill, 10 to IS pounds per acre 
Nobel Giant Leaved — By far the best of the 
smooth-leaved sorts. A large mass of smooth, 
very thick, rounded leaves of enormous size and 
a very rapid grower although slow to “bolt”. 
The best “fill basket” spinach for the gardener. 
New Zealand — The “perpetual” summer Spinach. 
Is not affected by the heat. Really a distinct type 
because the plant is composed of a number of 
branching shoots bearing small, finely cut leaves. 
May be cut off at the bottom and will quickly 
grow up again. 
Princess Juliana — A wonderful long stand¬ 
ing Spinach most attractive in appearance 
and uniform in type. It makes a dense, 
compact rosette with large, thick, rounded 
leaves very much blistered and crumpled 
and of an intense deep green color. 
King of Denmark — A fine long standing 
Spinach remaining much longer than other 
smooth leaved varieties before bolting to 
seed. The leaves are large, rounded, some¬ 
what crumpled and slightly blistered and 
are a very deep green in color. 
Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy — An im¬ 
provement over the old type bred for size. 
The plant is early and makes an immense 
spreading rosette which bushels wonder¬ 
fully. The leaves are intensely blistered 
and crumpled and are a glossy deep green 
in color. Very desirable for early spring 
planting and for wintering over. 
Long Standing Bloomsdale — The aristo¬ 
crat of the Spinach family. About 3 to 4 
days later than the Reselected Bloomsdale 
and truly wonderful in its resistance to 
bolting but not quite as large as the other 
type. You may cut from this Spinach over 
a space of nearly two weeks. 
Blight Resistant Savoy — A new strain developed 
by the Virginia Experiment Station for resistance 
to “yellows” blight or mosaic. It is an ideal Savoy 
type but has a tendency to run to seed quickly 
in warm weather. It should be sown therefore 
only in the fall when it will give excellent results.

SWEET 
Every garden should have a few good herbs. 
They are easily grown and are always pleasant and 
desirable for flavoring, garnishing, perfuming and 
medicinal purposes. A small space will furnish all 
the herbs needed in any family. 
Culture—The culture is very simple. Make a 
little seed bed in the early spring and set the plants 
out as soon as they are large enough. The herbs
