SPINACH 
Grow plenty of Spinach. It is one of the wholesome 
greens. Start your first sowing early in the spring, as 
soon as the ground can be prepared; make succession 
sowings every 10 days until the middle of June. For a 
fall crop sow from August 1 to 15. In the south, 
sow in September or October for wintering over. 
One oz. for 100 ft. of drill; 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Matures in 35 to 50 days; New Zealand 
requires about 70 days. 
Nobel 
1000 Nobel O 
New variety of the Viroflay type, but quite 
superior to it. It is one of the heaviest pro¬ 
ducers of all, with thick, dark green leaves 
that are huge in size, rather smooth and 
quite succulent. Very crisp, tender, of ex¬ 
tremely delicious flavor. In spite of the fact that Nobel is an 
extra quick grower, it stands well before bolting to seed. 
Pkt. 5^; oz. 10^; 4 ozs. 20^; lb. 25^; lb. 40^; 2 lbs. 70$^; 
5 lbs. $1.60; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
997 King of Denmark 
Grand Spinach, far superior to any of the other sorts. Its 
principal advantage is that it remains in marketable condi¬ 
tion longer, before running to seed, than any other variety 
except Princess Juliana. The leaves are large, rounded, 
savoyed or crumpled, and of a deep green color. 
Pkt. 10^; oz. 15^; 4 ozs. 20fi; 1/2 lb. 25^; lb. 45^;

995 Bloomsdale Reselected 
A distinct improvement over the old standard Bloomsdale 
Savoy, in that it is larger and of a darker color. The leaves 
are of heavy texture, very thick, dark green and crumpled. A 
perfectly hardy variety which may be used for early spring 
sowing or for planting in the fall to winter over. 
Pkt. Sfi; oz. 10^; 4 ozs. 20^; Vz lb. 25^; lb. 40^; 
2 lbs. 70^; 5 lbs. $1.60; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
998 Old Dominion 
1003 Virginia Biight Resistant 
A cross between Blight-Resistant Savoy and King of Den¬ 
mark. Large, dark green, heavily crumpled leaf. Stands up 
well and is a real Blight-Resistant variety, so is especially 
valuable in places where blight (mosaic) occurs. May be 
used for early spring sowings but is better adapted for sow¬ 
ing in the late fall for an early spring crop. 
Pkt. 10^; oz. 15^; 4 ozs. 20^; 1/2 lb. 25^; lb. 45^; 
2 lbs. 80^; 5 lbs. $1.80; 10 lbs. $3.35. 
An improved selection which is far superior to the ordinary 
Blight-Resistant strains offered. Our strain is almost as 
curled as our Reselected Bloomsdale, and the handsome, large, 
dark green, much savoyed and crumpled leaves are extremely 
crisp, tender and of upright growth. A long-standing strain of 
very excellent quality that makes it a winner for the market 
or home gardener. Pkt. 10^; oz. 15^; 4 ozs. 20^; Vi lb. 25^; 
lb. 45^; 2 lbs. SOfi; 5 lbs. $1.80; 10 lbs. $3.35. 
999 Bloomsdale LongStandingo 
Quick-growing hardy Spinach much planted for market and 
for canning. The glossy green leaves are intensely crinkled 
and blistered, in addition to being of a very heavy texture. 
Valuable for spring sowing or planting in the fall. Stands 
a long time before seeding. A foremost variety in every 
regard. Pkt. 10^; oz. 15^; 4 ozs. 20^; Vi lb. 25^; 
lb. 45^; 2 lbs. 80)zf; 5 lbs. $1.80; 10 lbs. $3.35.

Have You Tried Spinach Substitutes ?

ach does not do well; they are also the only kinds that can be successfully 
grown in extremely hot weather. We refer to the so-called New Zealand 
Spinach (next page); and Swiss.Chard, the Spinach Beet (page 133).
