SPINACH 
CULTURE. —Should be planted in very rich ground, the 
richer the better. Sow in drills, one toot apart, and begin 
thinning out the plants when the leaves are an inch wide. All 
should be cut before the hot weather or they will be tough 
and stringy For succession sow every two weeks until June. 
Lime-treated soil will produce better and larger crops. 
For early spring use, sow in autumn and protect the plants 
with a light covering of leaves or straw. South of Cincinnati 
Spinach can be grown without covering. One ounce of seed to 
50 feet of drill, 10 to 20 pounds per acre in drills.

LARGE CROPS — FINE QUALITY 
New Zealand Everbearing Spinach. 
“I want to tell you that Isbell’s Seeds cannot be beat. Hubbard 
Squash, Davis Perfect Cttctimber, Pencil Pod Beans, Chantenay 
Carrots, Rutabagas and Beets all produced wonderfully zvell and we 
had more than we could use. The cucumbers were the heaviest 
yielding of anything I ever saw, from one ounce of seed we sold 
$54.00 worth and put zip twelve gallons in brine.”

SQUASH 
New Golden Delicious 
This remarkable new sort we believe will become very popular 
with market gardeners and home gardeners, while for canning 
it is of highest quality. The skin is a bright reddish-orange and 
the flesh is rich golden orange. The flesh is 2 to 3 inches thick 
and there is no green zone near the rind. It cooks extra dry, fine 
grained and sweet. Many who have grown it say "it is better 
than a sweet potato”. The skin is thin without a hard shell but 
it is a fine keeper for winter use. On account of its high quality 
and attractive color it has created a sensation with canners and 
those who tested it claim it has the highest starch content of 
any variety they haye tried. Besides all its other fine qualities 
it is the finest squash for pies. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; X A lb., 45c; 
lb., $1.20, prepaid.
