SPINACH 
A packet of seed will soiv 25 to 30 feet of row; 34 lb. 200 ft.; 20 lbs. of seed an acre. 
Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for use in 
four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st, and to winter 
over sow about September 1st in this latitude, and later further south. 
Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be sown 
early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having the crop 
mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st, spinach will grow 
very large and can be used from the first of September until the ground 
freezes. 
SPECIAL SUMMER SAVOY. Longstanding. For late Spring Sow¬ 
ing. See page 14. This new strain of Long Standing Bloomsdale is 
especially valuable for sowing in the late spring for a summer crop as it 
will stand hot weather extremely well. It closely resembles Long Stand¬ 
ing Bloomsdale being only slightly smaller in frame and having a little 
darker leaf

KING OF DENMARK. The Longest Standing Kind. Named and 
introduced by us in 1929. This spinach not only grows fast and pro¬ 
duces a large yield, but it stands longer without bolting to seed than any 
other variety. The leaves are broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat 
blistered. The remarkable long standing ability and the fine quality of 
King of Denmark make it one of the best varieties for the home as well 
as the commercial garden.

OLD DOMINION. A Longer Standing Blight Resistant. This new 
spinach is a cross between Blight Besistant Savoy and King of Denmark. 
It has the large dark green crumpled leaf of the Savoy and stands up 
longer than other Blight Resistant kinds. This variety yields well and 
should be very valuable for spring sowing in places where spinach blights.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. For Fall Sowing. This strain of Nor¬ 
folk or Bloomsdale Savoy is quite resistant to the blight or “yellows” 
which is destructive in some localities. A valuable variety in localities 
where blight injures fall spinach.

Salsify or Vegetable Oyster 
Haferwurzel (Ger.) Sassefrica (It.) 
A packet will sow 15 ft. of row; an ounce 75 ft. 
“Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is easily 
grown and is used in the late fall and winter 
when there are very few fresh vegetables to be 
had. Market gardeners find this a profitable 
vegetable to grow. 
The best roots are grown on rather light 
rich soil, but good ones can be produced on 
almost any good garden land. Sow the seed in 
May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the plants to 
3 inches apart. The roots can be used any time 
in the fall and winter. They may remain in 
the ground all winter. Before the ground 
freezes a supply of roots should be dug and 
placed in moist sand in the cellar for use in 
the winter. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. The 
Best Strain. This improved variety grows 
very large often measuring 4 to 5 inches 
around and is of the best quality. 
Pkt. ltc; Oz. 2tc; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.99. Mammoth Sandwich Island 
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. This is a wonderful improvement 
over the old Norfolk Savoy or Bloomsdale spinach. It not only grows 
larger but stands ten days to two weeks longer without bolting to seed. 
The leaves are very large, thick and heavy, deep green in color, very 
much crumpled and of the best quality. 
Market gardeners have found this one of the most profitable varieties 
for market on account of its heavy yield and handsome appearance. 
Home gardeners find this kind a most satisfactory spinach to grow. You 
can cut fine spinach over a period of several weeks from one sowing. 
We have an unusually fine strain.

PRINCESS JULIANA. This spinach grows close to the ground and has 
thick well-crumpled dark green leaves. Does not run to seed as quickly 
as many other varieties and retains its crispness a remarkably long time 
after cutting.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. This new spinach has proved a remarkably 
fine variety both for home and market. It is very early and is so large 
and grows so rapidly that it can be cut before most other kinds are ready. 
It will stand a long time without bolting to seed, even if the weather be¬ 
comes hot and dry. 
The leaves are nearly twice as large as the old kinds, handsome, dark 
green in color, quite thick, and smoother than the Savoy types.

Viking Spinach 
New Zealand Spinach 
Although this is not a true spinach. It has become one of the most 
popular summer “greens.” The leaves resemble spinach leaves and are 
produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It will grow 
during hot dry weather when other spinach would be useless. A few feet 
of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens” all summer. This seed is 
slow to germinate and should be soaked 24 hours before planting.
