Spinach for Table Greens 
No plant makes more palatable and nutritious greens than Spinach. For spring 
and summer use, sow the seed in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the 
ground can be worked, and make successive sowings every 2 weeks up to May 15. For 
winter and early spring use, sow in September and cover with straw at the approach 
of winter. Keep Spinach well cultivated and water liberally during dry weather. 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce, 100 feet; 10 pounds, an acre 
KING OF DENMARK. The leaves are crumpled and blistered, large, rounded, and of 
a rich, dark green color. King of Denmark, instead of running to seed, keeps on 
growing for a week or two longer than most kinds, producing a heavy yield and pro¬ 
longing the time during which it may be used and marketed. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 
lb. 35c. 
LONG-STANDING BLOOMSDALE SAVOY. A very early variety, and one of the 
best and most popular to plant in the home-garden and for market. It is an upright 
grower, with thick, glossy, dark green leaves, broad and crumpled, like Savoy 
cabbage. Very hardy, rapid grower, standing longer before going to seed than any 
other kind except King of Denmark. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c.

VIKING. A new variety that combines the good qualities of King of Denmark with the heavy 
yield of the old-time Viroflay. It is popular with market gardeners because of its rapid growth. 
The large heavy leaves remain in good condition for a long time. Another point is that the 
leaves are smooth, thus making it a simple matter to clean the foliage for the table. Not only 
is it a profitable sort for the market gardener but it is a most desirable Spinach for the home- 
garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 45c. 
Princess Juliana. This Spinach has three fine qualities that make it a great home-garden 
variety: The leaves are thick, crumpled, and of fine flavor; plants are strong and upright 
growing, holding the leaves up from the ground and keeping them clean; it can be used for 
a long season, as it is very slow in going to seed. Pkg. lOc; oz. 15c; lb. 35c. 
OLD DOMINION. Blight-resistant. A typical “long-standing” Spinach with large, dark 
green, thick, crumpled leaves. Seed may be sown in the spring for summer cutting, or in the 
late fall for an early spring crop. The fact that it is of fine quality and long standing makes 
it extremely desirable for commercial growers and for the home gardeners. Pkg. 10c; oz. 
15c; lb. 35c. 
Prickly or Fall. A very hardy variety, especially adapted for fall planting. Plant large, very 
vigorous, hardy, with thick, dark green leaves. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 45c. 
NEW ZEALAND SPINACH (Tetragonia expansa) 
Unlike other varieties of Spinach, it thrives during hot weather and in any soil, rich or 
poor. The tender shoots are of splendid quality, and may be cut throughout the entire summer. 
If you have never grown this great green, it will pay you to try it this season. Gardeners all 
over the country are loud in their praises of it. Plant three or four seeds in hills 2 feet apart 
each way. Germination of the seed can be hastened by soaking in warm water 24 hours.

Salsify • Vegetable Oyster 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce, 50 feet 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots, 
when cooked, have a flavor similar to oysters, are very palatable 
and nutritious and are served in a variety of ways. Salsify 
succeeds best in a light, well-enriched soil. Sow early and quite 
deep, giving the general culture recommended for parsnip. The 
roots are perfectly hardy and may remain out all winter, but 
should be dug early in spring, as they deteriorate rapidly after 
growth commences.

growing, with long, smooth, white, tapering roots, and is less 
liable to branch than the other sorts. The tops are grassy. It 
is valuable for market-gardeners’ use. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c;
